Cording

Cording is a technique used to created raised ridges placed on the surface of a piece of fabric. These ridges are made by twining thin pieces of fabric around eachother to make something similar to a rope. It allows for a new texture as well as pattern to be formed. it is often used on seams to add strength and a more decorative finish.
This particular example on the neckline has a very vintage feel. The designer is unknown but it is a prime example of cording being used in a decorative way.
