Dag is a name often used in modern times to describe a dangling piece of fabric or trim. For example the edge of the sleeves of a [[houpelande]] may be dagged, that is cut into elaborate shapes, as a form of decoration. Dags may be shaped as simple circles, leaf shapes, [[crenulated]] or in a variety of other shapes. [[Fulled]] or [[felted]] [[wool]] lends itself best to dagging, as the dags prduced will not fray.
