I see many images of short skirts over longer ones,
and every one is allegorical.
This doesn't count tucked-up skirts, like one of the
maidens in the St. Nicholas illumination you cite.
So, I suppose a tucked-up skirt later redrawn by one
of the many costume historians who didn't/don't "get
it" might show a short over long skirt arrangement not
on a Ste., Queen, Goddess, etc..
So, not "real", unless you were dressing for a real
Masque, like Drea's Queen of the Amazons on the
Elizabethan Costuming Page.
