New Trim for a Girls Gown or Dress

I am always thinking of some way to adorn the gowns.  I had this one inch ribbon and decided to gather it in the center of the ribbon and stitch down the middle. I then had my trim.

I applied the gathered ribbon to the gown and sewn on some little buttons.  I liked the buttons but think little rose buds would be nice, too.

Where else can I use this?, on my tops, on older childrens' clothing across the chest or even around the hem in one row and multiple rows without the buttons.  Maybe different colored ribbons.....
