] I don't know about this specifically, but it sounds as if their gowns were early Renaissance, not Regency. In the 1400s there was a fashion for high-waisted gowns, close-fitting through the bodice and with long, tight sleeves. ~snip~ and big, poofy, popover-looking things, the name of which I don't know. I think these are the gold onions you're talking about.

I can't answer that either, Jessamyn! It must the medieval style and I confused it with the Regency. I think the couch that skaters sat on threw me. ;-)
