As far as I know, it's not intended as a way of keeping your skirt out
of the mud. But on the other hand, it's not a permanent, sewn
arrangement, it's definitely something done with cords that you can
either loop up or let down. It would be nice if there was any evidence
of someone wearing the same dress different ways on different occasions
- like you sometimes get diaries or accounts showing that sleeves could
be interchangeable in Tudor times. I don't know that much detail of the
period.
