Although a good decade outside of the SCA comfort zone, this dress looks to follow the 16th C lines. If you look at the bottom left and start to move towards the center, you'll see a stitching line. It looks like the skirt edges were rolled, sewn down, and then sewn together - which we've seen in extant items.

However, what is very interesting is her waistline. The back is perfectly pleated but the front looks to be loosely gathered.
