>i was thinking maybe an off white? but i could also see that being too much,
too much in what regard? white would contrast with the red more starkly whereas off white would soften the colour combo
>sorry if im asking a ton of questions, i just want to make my friend a nice gift to thank
nah no worries lad. i admire the sentiment behind the gesture, quite a lot in fact, i just don't know how much of use i'm able to offer opinion-wise regarding this particular garment. i'll level with you - in its simplest terms the question i'm looking at amounts to "my m8 wants his balls to look fancy. how do?" and my answer to that ranges from "tie a leetle bow on them!" to "why?" to "you don't. they're balls. you just keep em comfy and don't let em overheat." point being that my opinion here on whether this or that colour would be better is gonna default to "no" and whether this or that material would look awful is gonna default to "yes"

right, this i can work with
>wasnt able to find any trimmings that were an exact match for the image so i figure its probably best to make my own
pleated edge elastic and/or ruffle edge elastic would get you there. the problem isn't so much finding trims which match the image, it's finding trims which would all match each other.
>gathering satin ribbon
that's how i'd approach it. roll of 2" satin ribbon and use that for all of it. wide enough to get the bow out of and can simply be cut narrower for the waist edge since it'll be sandwiched anyhow. do the legs like the waist, the elastic is needed in both areas. coax ribbon into mimic of circularity by stretching while steam pressing; staystitch; treat as flounce. fold ribbon like bias tape for the criss cross bits. slipstitch bow on.

how are your trousers coming along?
