Can you please indulge me, Bjarne, and tell me what this fabric is?   It is
very surprising to see a plaid this early, in a bibfront dress!

Thanks for sharing.

I think the trim is silk ribbon, according to the text. Although it's a huge jump, I would guess that the dress is probably silk too, in that case. There is a booklet by Naomi Tarrant "The Rise and Fall of the Sleeve" which has a very early plaid dress in silk.
