Thanks!!:D here is a side view...(that may help) And it was not the handbag (or purse) that I am refering to...but good try!!!;) (it's not something hidden like the famous 'Paniers' underwear known for making this wide dress hehehehe) BY the way...DID you know that the french doors that are so popular today, were indeed design for those aristocratic wide dresses??? interesting isn't it? :D ok...now...it is an item that truly mark the French style of this epoch...Again good luck;)
