What are these little loopies called?

[gaildavid]

I will be listing a baby doll chiffon-like nightie/dress from Lily of France and I am not sure what to call the little semi-loops at the hemline.

And what exactly should I call it? Dress? Nightie? Both in the title?

Thanks....Gail

The bodice to me looks more structured than a nightie...or is it just my imagination?? Definitely use "strapless". if the fabric is substantial enough - would market as a nightie/slip dress.

(btw...if you were focusing this for halloween..someone could definitely use this as part of a french maids outfit as well)

Yes, I am going to target this as a Halloween costume. Upstairs French Maid is good. ;)

Anyone have an idea of the name of the loops?

French Maid is good. There is a thick thread or wire running though the hem to make it pouf up, right? I have always just called it a ruffled hemline.

Ruffled hemline...that'll work, Linda. Thanks! :D And yes, it does have a thin wire going through it.
