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.
