PURFLE is a decorative edging or trimming used to ADORN fabric. It is made up of three parts: a HEM, which is a folded edge of fabric that is sewn in place; a TRIM, which is a narrow strip of fabric used to decorate the edge of a garment; and an adornment, which is an embellishment added to the fabric for decoration. Together, these three elements create a purfle, which is a decorative edging or trimming used to enhance the look of a garment.
