I'm not pushing "the skirt is definitely the shawl", just that it has some features in common (daisy's and yellow lily like patterns, etc), later might be referred to as an "apron", making it not quite a skirt nor an apron, but something that could be worn in such a way that either descriptor might be used - and that starts sounding like something that could happen with the current shawl. It's kind of there and then disappears again; but then, sometimes you see what you want to see, and so if I'm looking to see if there is any evidence she had the shawl, I'm more likely to see it than if I were to look for it's absence, in which case I will see it is not listed. So like many things JtR, I'm not sure what I'm seeing in the end.
