Thinking about Mom a little. Born and raised on an Ionian island, she eventually met a visiting Englishman, fell in love, and accompanied him back to his family Estate. She feels affinity for both her homeland and her adopted home, and has invested herself in thorough adaptation. She wants the same for her daughter.

So she dresses nimbly. In our story, she wears her Hellenic looks to identify as and blend in as a local, and her English looks to identify herself in her relationship, as a gesture of solidarity with the husband she loves, and to show young DD what she wants for her daughter's future.

In the first image, the belt with the circular decoration is useful as a tie to DD's own costume in other stories, though it also just shows up in a lot of different pieces of reference material. I wish I knew more about it.
