Hi Bjarne,
We're talking about an 18thC gown, right?
I remember talking about this on 18cWoman quite a while back. After
much searching, I think someone found one picture of a robe Francaise
that was worn this way. Sounds like it was rare, and understandable
since it changes the line of the gown.
You may want to ask on that list, or e-mail Sue Felshin who has
stored all the archives and has a fast searching method on it.
