Green brocade floor length gown with small train, probably two separate pieces (chemise and dress) as we can see that the white chemise is floor length underneath the dress - see picture #7. This is most likely the same chemise she wears with her Masquerade "Horse" Gown and this cut-scene dressing gown. White chemise covers most of collarbone, gathered and slightly ruffled. Full bishop sleeves gathered to wrist as well as intermittently down the arm to form ‘poofs.’ Low empire waist with full skirt pleated evenly into waist. Navy blue velvet trim around scoop-square neckline, armholes, and at waist (picture #3). In one scene, she wears charcoal-colored detachable sleeves - see pictures #5-7. There is also a thin gray? silver? ribbon tied in her hair (picture #7-8).

The last image shows the concept sketch and swatches used for this costume from cosprop.co.uk. Next to the swatches, the image says: basic house dress & detachable sleeves. There is also the notation "simple hair". Cool!

               

           

Thanks to the cosprop.co.uk concept sketches, we know for certain that the vast majority of the costumes in Ever After were inspired by historical paintings, e.g., Danielle's Princess Gown, Danielle's Blue Library Gown, Jacqueline's Green Brocade Gown. We've been able to identify many of the paintings seen in these concept sketches (compare paintings below to the last picture above):

Left to Right:
Portrait of Maddalena Doni by Raffaello Sanzio
Portrait of a Woman Known as La Schiavona by Tiziano Vecellio
Woman Holding Drawing of Lucretia by Lorenzo Lotto, 1530s

       

Another painting with similar elements to Jacqueline's Green Brocade Gown is shown below (same bodice and black sleeves):

Portrait of a Woman by Ridolfo del Ghirlandaio, Florence, 1500s
