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!
