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.
