Hi Sharon,
Thanks for your help, but this is not the same way i ment to tuck up the
skirt in the sides. I just ment its strange that no portrait or painting
shows a lady wearing her francaise dress with lifted up back train as in the
wedding dress from V&A. It has lift up tapes in the back like a polonaise
dress would have, only it is a watteau pleated back.

I don't know if this is what you're talking about, but it may help.

Hi,
Many of you may know the white satin weddingdress wich is in Norah Waughs
Cut of Womens Clothes. A Robe Francaise with intricate puffs pleatings as
decoration in the under and overskirt.
This dress has tape ties in the back section with the watteau pleats.
I just wondered if any here have seen any pictures where a francaise dress
is lifted up in the back with these tapes?
I am just wondering because i am starting a new projekt in the new year
with
a francaise dress, and my client would like to have this opportunity to
lift
up the train.
I dont recall to have seen any pictures where this is shown.
