scalloped edges

Semicircular repeating trim

Scalloped edges are borders cut or shaped into a series of rounded, wave-like curves resembling the shell of a scallop.

The pattern appears on fabric trims, picture frames, pie crusts, and decorative papers: The tablecloth had delicate scalloped edges.

The curves are uniform and convex, creating a softer alternative to straight or zigzag borders.
