Thanks for all the suggestions about ribbon and elastic. I liked the idea of two pieces of ribbon joined by a bit of elastic, but in practice I couldn't get it to work well. My elastic wasn't elastic enough! I've threaded a double piece of shirring elastic through, with ribbon on top to hide it. So the bow is really a faux bow.
Wow, it looks marvelous! I like the faux ribbon, it's a nice finish.
