trimming
Explanation:
That's how I'd translate it in this context. Decorations sounds more suitable for a Christmas tree than a garment.

agree  Lingopro: Accessories is indeed used in fashion contexts, and here in particualr since Jonathan stated it's a פרט i.e. an attached piece which is not part of the garment itself.

embellishment


Explanation:
Without further context, I'd guess that קישוטים refer not to the material the cloth is made of and not to the ornaments printed on the material, but to additional elements, such as brooches (roses, flowers) made of another fabric or other details (applications) sewed on the costume.
