I'd recommend reading the TH chapter on aprons, its file 1.2.5 Shurz, it might have answers to your questions.

I do think that the first image is probably just bands of solid fabric on an apron.

For the brocade look, it might be embroidery, Textiler Hausrat says that they did have embroiderd aprons.

I'll keep an eye out for any paintings with this in it for you.
