Hi,
The scarf or sashet she is wearing seems to be embroidered. Could it be a
silk satin? A taffeta would be two stiff.
The skirt is made to look like the fronts of gentlemens jackets, and my
guess is it only is made for the looks. A lady was never to be seen in
culottes, my godness, never.
The sash dont have any purpose at all, just fashionable to wear it.

Hi guys. I'm making a loose interpretation of this outfit, and I know
nothing about this period:

Can someone tell me about the sash she's wearing? What's it made of? Did
it have a purpose, or did it just look pretty?
Also, the skirt appears to be divided in the center front. Is it open to
reveal a petticoat, or is this a split skirt or culottes?
Thanks!
