"One could see, by the way in which her girdle rose above her hips, that she had not been long in Paris.--Add to this a plaited tucker, knots of ribbon on her shoes--and that the stripes of her petticoat ran horizontally instead of vertically, and a thousand other enormities which shocked good taste."

I'm not sure what "tucker" means here. Obviously a garment covering chest to waist only, perhaps with only front part ornamental?
