What is the material that Nellie's holiday outfit is made out of? I got my backordered holiday outfit today and it is made out of the same thing as Felicity's traveling gown. My first thought is that it is historically inaccurate as they didn't have material like that back then. It feels almost like some kind of waterproof material or something. But perhaps someone who knows more about 1906 fabrics (or 1774 fabrics for that matter since Felicity's traveling gown is the same thing) can set me straight if I'm wrong.
