Thats some awesome stuff! The very bottom item:
http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/ho/05/afe/ho_12.185.4.htm

seems particularly intriguing. The description says that there are two tunics depicted, a lighter over robe and an embroidered under robe.

Can anybody understand better what they are talking about - it confuses me. But I think the outfit itself is very interesting and looks like something I could actually sew.

I'm not seeing it. I think they're full of crap.
