"Bustled gown" est une façon plus directe de dire "A gown with a bustle."

Probablement changer la phrase "...si belle mais desuètes robes à la tournure..."

Note from asker:
| Je sais que bustle c'est tournure en français, mais ça ne me dit pas comment traduire "bustled". "tournées"? |
| Oui, bien sûr, mais avec "beautifully" ça ne va pas. Il me faudrait un adjectif ou bien changer la phrase. |

: I don't think you'll find an equivalent adjective in FR, even in EN, 'bustled' sounds like an invented word... It's not so much that 'the way they are bustled is beautiful', but more 'the gowns are beautiful because of the fact they have bustles'
