    Dress making can be one of the most rewarding forms of handicrafts. Almost anyone can sew pieces of fabric together to make a dress, however it needs good deal of skill, imagination and application to give this basic dress a perfect finish, the finishing touch by way of trimmings can change a simple silhoutte into a distinctive one. The present study on preference for decoratives by college going girls on their apparel, was carried out in Belgaum and Dharwad cities during 1996. The informative data was collected by interviewing hundred and sixty college girls, thirty readymade shopkeepers were interviewed to know the awareness of the respondents about ftie decoratives, preference for flat and embrssed decoratives and their care and maintenence. Results revealed that, saiwarsuit was the most preferred garment ftie respondents. The most commonly known decoratives were chainstitch, bead woric, lacework, tie -dyes, buckles and belts. Prefoience for decoratives was more obvious among traditional college respondents than professional college. Flat decoratives were preferred most on the casual wears by the respondents mainly because of their simplicity, suitability, easycare and maintenance. On the contrary embossed decoratives were preferred for ceremonial and party wear because of their gorgeons, rich and novelty appearance on the costume. The shopkeepers of the readymade garments opined that customers considered the decoratives sometime only while purchasing and care instructions for these decorated attires were not provided by the garment manufiictures. Majority of the respondents preferred to dry clean their decorated garments. Some washed after every two wear, pressed from reverse side and hung in the wardrobe using napthaline balls as the moth and mildew repellents.
