Another question that has something in common with the first one is: Would women wear chausses under the skirt when it was winter? If yes, it would be logic that they needed braies to tie the chausses to something.
As far as I know, women wore hose under their skirts winter and summer.
They were just above knee length and held up by being gartered just
below the knee. Incidentally, men's chausses weren't generally tied to
the braies either-- a belt or cord held up both the braies and the
chausses. That doesn't necessarily mean that women didn't wear braies,
though.
