Hmm, I can see what you are saying. You'd have to "train the gore" to lie like that right? I mean when I put a gore in it usually doesn't fold up on itself like that. This looks like it comes to a point on the outside and the underlying fabric is tucked back underneath it like a pleat almost creating a facing for the slit/point. Now, on the other hand, I recently draped some wool where it did just this.
The only reason I am pushing the point, is I like the look but am suspicious of the authenticity of the way it is made/looks.
