Spot the similarities...
So this artist, Julien Dupré, seems pretty clearly to be the inspiration for Odette’s outfit. He has many paintings featuring this same young woman in this outfit in pastoral settings.
It makes me wonder if Odette could have grown up in the countryside before moving to Paris, or perhaps went there after the fire/accident. It’s not an outfit that you’d find much in the city as much, based on what I could find.
