Is this on 18C panier? I am intrigued - I am going to make a toile of the
french 'panier' shown in Waugh, where she shows two panels (which I presume are
the same for front and back) then a sort of triangle which gets made into the
waist ties... It's not very clear but she doesn't mention padding! It would
make sense though, to keep the sides smooth as you say.

p.s. I am going to buy the red brocade with silver motifs :-)
