need your help there Explanation: Sorry i was disconnected again, so if you got any message at allyou are lucky Having to do with fashion and fabrics, I may be able to help you if you give me the Italian original. As without it, all I can figure out is that ajour could stand for ajouré=openwork ("holes" made in fabrics usually using embroidery for that. The rest is definetly not French same as before |

open intarsia work Explanation: This is just a suggestion - it may depend on the context Intarsi = It. plural of intarsio, means inlay or in fabrics, intarsia. Ad ajour - in French would be ajour or ajouré, as explained by Bono. Means openwork or "pulled thread embroidery". Also seems to be used in this sense in German. In knitting intarsia is using blocks of colour side by side to create pictures or patterns. intarsio - see fashion glossary at www.modalinone.it; intarsia knitting see get.theinfo.org/intarsia ajour see b.cartage.org.lb/web/dict/Artfr/A/A06 html; www.tentakulum.de/html/hauptteil_bks_ajour.html |
