Help!

Posted because a friend is making this and needs to know if there should be side laces or a back lacing or what? She's got to get it done by 12thNight, so help, help!

It's a lovely gown, isn't it? I can't wait to see her interpretation.
[Edit: she's got a dress diary up. It is at http://catalina-riquel.livejournal.com/30896.html
