I won't have one, but I believe it's the reverse of a normal bustle - the fabric is turned inward so you only see the fabric flowing in 'folds' so to speak! It can be very pretty :)

Very common in Victorian and Edwardian times, bustles are a pulling up and fastening of fabric at the back of a dress where the bodice meets the skirt. Many wedding gowns' trains may be bustled, pulled up, so they are out of the way at the reception. A French Bustle is hooked from underneath, so that the bustled fabric lays on the outside.
