My first thought is that it seems to be some sort of artistic painting
convention for depicting a party or performers. If you look at the stripes,
they don't follow the lines of the clothes or the body - they're painted on
in straight swaths, whether or not the line crosses an arm or a fabric
drape. You can especially see it in the cuffs of the sleeves.
/.2 cents :)
I agree. It would be possible to make the outfits with diagonal or
chevron patterns with either applique or using strips of cloth sewn
together (as is done in modern quilts). I would not think of
actually weaving diagonal or chevron patterns as yardage for clothing.
