Yes! Nicholas was said to wear "peasant" clothes, but I doubt what he wore was anything like what peasants actually had.

I agree. I think when people say he wore peasant clothes, they really mean the tsar wore traditional Russian styles -- not that he dressed shabbily.

Do those 'peasant dresses' appear in 1916 and in captivity photos, generally, if I may ask? OTMA's hats/caps and their specific dresses.

Not sure. I'm not familiar with Russian peasant women's styles -- just the men's tunics and tall leather boots favored by NII.

Their 1911 court dresses were made of silver tissue with velvet accents.
As young children, OTMA's summer dresses were made of cambric with colored silk underdresses.
As young women, I suspect their everyday clothes were more likely made of fabrics like cambric, linen, lawn, wool, and so forth, than silk. The tsaritsa dressed her daughters in "simple English styles," though IMO "simple" means something a little different to royalty than it does to the likes of us. ;-)
I believe their dresses for the 1916 formals were satin.
