Given the clearly non-native quality of the rest I feel sure this is indeed a typo for 'folded' (which doesn't sound very brilliant anyway with 'layers'!)
Marie-Yvonne Dulac (asker) Mar 12, 2012:
In fact, that could be a typo for "folded", but I'm not sure.
Just for your info, the text hasn't been written by natives.
I thought of something like "des plis des deux côtés", but it doesn't sound very good.
Anne R Mar 12, 2012:
rabats plissés bon, grosse suposition mais si un "folder' est un machine à plier, on peut sûrement penser que le foldered se rapporte à un plissé. en revanche pour le mot layer dans le contexte d'un vêtement je ne vois pas..
emiledgar Mar 12, 2012:
only 8 hits on google and they all seem to be about an Adobe function. Could this be a typo for "folded?"

Cela me rappelle les plissé de Mme Grey - il y a eu une exposition sur elle à Paris l'été dernier

The different types of "folded layers" in clothes

Il y a des "folded layers" qui se traduisent par "à volant(s)" ou même "volanté":

Il peut n'y avoir qu'un seul volant:

En français: à volant(s), volanté: http://mode-femme.twenga.fr/jupe-a-volants.html

Cela donne ceci en tunique: http://www.ddp-boutique.fr/ma_boutique.aspx?l=tunique-a-vola... - mais "at both sides" laisse suggérer autre chose !

"folded layers", c'est aussi ceci: http://www.polyvore.com/folded_layer_dress/thing?id=14380165

ou ceci: http://www.wholesale-dress.net/modeling-leopard-collar-splic...

Mais je pense qu'on parle plutôt de ceci ici:

La 2ème tunique de la page suivante, la "Tunique asymétrique plissée" semble correspondre à notre exemple, sauf qu'elle est plissée partout, pas seulement sur les côtés (pour marquer la taille?): http://www.leguide.com/sb/leguide/recherche/str_MotCle/Tuniq...
