All of what I've seen involves crochet. But I do own one printed sheet
from the Wright trim company, showing one how to make an early 1950s dress
entirely out of the stuff. You might ask them if they have a copy in their
archives (because I can't find mine).
BTW, I've always seen the stuff called "wave braid", never "wavy braid" or
"waved braid".
