i can tell you what plumeti IS ... but now what it is in EN, sorry; and no, you can't leave it as is Explanation: It's that embroidery with a sort of fluffy finish, usually in dots but you can do any pattern with it. It's on a fine tulle, [I guess that's the resille] and so the rest is translucent, and these bits are softer to the touch, obviously opaque and raised from the background. Dee |

"plumetis" NOT it is satin-stiches/ "netting" NOT it is "braids"/ "veils" Explanation: You can't leave plumetis as it is 'cuz it doesn't exist in English. You can't use neither fishnet nor netting 'cuz it wouldn't be related to this field. Finally, "voilette" isn't the embroidered flower. The world deals with the piece of material worn to protect or hide the head or hat. |

plumetis/ veil Explanation: For "plumetis", if you look in quick search as any customer, you find plumetis in both french and English so I guess you can leave as it is. Voilette is a veil falling over the face from a hat. Good luck! |
