Hi--
Thanks to all who've tried to help on this one! I came across the term through
a friend who saw a dress exhibited with that as part of its description, and
she was curious and asked me the costume expert. (um…). I don't generally
deal with this period, and tried searching, and got nothing at all. So at least
now I have a little something, thank you! I'm going to try contacting the
museum and seeing if anyone there actually can explain it. And if they can,
I'll share with the list.
