If you did want garments made in something like an accurate style then it would cost a lot to buy due to the time taken to make it, so it would be far thriftier to obtain fabric and pattern to make at home.
It would also mean that you could match the social standing of your costumes, assuming that you are going to dress as a pair from the same location - Gaelic is a modern term and it would probably mystify a scholar from the time referred to.

Thank you. Im not certain she really cares so much about historical accuracy, so much as she enjoys the style of the chemise and bodice, and being able to wear it at an event where it feels appropriate like the Highland games. I think she also very much likes a nice German barmaid outfit that some German restaurants have their waitresses wear ... Not costume-y, but nicely done outfits.
