Toby-frill
a. An ornamental edging made of a strip of any woven material, of which one edge is gathered and the other left loose so as to give it a wavy or fluted appearance. Toby-frill, such as appears on the figure of Toby in the frontispiece of Punch.The sense in the first quot. is doubtful; ‘borrowed frills’ suggests rather false curls or the like than what is defined above; cf. frill v.1 2.
