French term or phrase: on dirait qu'elle dessine des festons

Quelle manière elle a de respirer! On dirait qu'elle dessine des festons avec son souffle; il monte, la cambre monte - descend, la chambre aussi

E' una ragazzina che descrive il respiro della maestra. Vi preciso che la maestra fa anche lezioni di ricamo

e come se ricamasse con il suo respiro un punto smerlo

Explanation:
Direi così. Fammi sapere. Il punto smerlo può essere anche tradotto con festone. Per conoscenza, il punto smerlo è un semplice punto di rifinitura o bordatura.

Il movimento del respiro/petto che sale e scende sembra fare quello.

Vuol dire certamente "smerlo" come dice Mariastella, ma anche "festone".
