The woman wears a barbette and a fillet of a kind. Her dress is fitted at the wrists and seems to be tight at the girdled waist - might be partly fitted too?

I call this type of overgarment the choking cloak. It is depicted fastened with two strings and the wearer (always noble) often goes around his business with one of his fingers looped about the strings to hold the cloak in place. (or with the cords hanging low, like here, obstructing the arm movement) Seems to be a highly impractical design, if you ask me - but then, that is probably the point.
