"The Chocolate Girl" is very popular with 18th century re-enactors, who love her jacket and, I think her cap. So if you wore the outfit around any 18th-C folk, they would definitely recognize the picture.

i'm always tempted to recreate that ensemble for halloween or the
renaissance fair (i know it's like 100 years out of period, but i
don't work there or anything.  and i think it would be funny if
someone recognized it).

A friend of mine has a lovely poster of a girl (1700's)wearing an apron,
with the top rectangle pinned on. Don't know about the bottom part.
