With a powerful wind I think she'll be in a lot of trouble. But the scarf (it is a form of scarf actually) is kept pretty stiff and doesn't move in a light breeze. Today they use starch. I have no idea what they used in the 1890's. The odd thing is that she looks quite young, but if I recall correctly scarfs like that were only used by married women. Well, I guess she could be married...
The colouring has this weird Twilight Zone'ish quality. I love it.
