I still haven't been able to figure how that texture on the partlet
and head dress is made. I'm thinking it's some kind of applied
cording, but am not quite sure.
Thanks!

I will likely use the de Toledo pattern for a basis. I've made a
couple gowns with it before so I am familiar with it.
I'm thinking it's a brown wool/ or silk with silk velvet ribbon
appliqued on. I understand the chemise. But I don't really
understand the wrap and head covering. Does anyone have an idea
of what/ how it's made? thanks!
The "wrap" looks like a partlet (I can see a collar) made from a
heavily textured fabric, with fringe. It may be a size too small
for the wearer, or maybe it's just painted badly.
Not sure what's going on with the headdress in the same fabric.
