Ah ha!  Thank you.  I had seen the Kennedy book in OLC, but bad, prejudiced me, 
I thought - Jackie Kennedy wrote anything worth reading???  Looking at Tilke 
right now - very cooooool.....

So far, there are pictures and hints that this type of dress was typical "up 
to" the 20th century...looks like I will have to dig further to see if I can 
find any hard evidence to show it actually existed before the 18th century.

Thank you very much for the lead!
