As someone who has done research on Katherine Howard and her costume inspiration in most media she's portrayed in, her skirt in SIX is meant to not only represent her short life (she died anywhere for 19 to 21 years of age) with it's length and the fact it's "not completed" but also how the men in her life saw her and how history has seen her for years, we only hear of her cause she was the "promiscuous" wife, forgetting the fact that she met Henry as a teenage while he was in his 40's, her outfit is meant to represent her age by mirroring what teenagers of today wear, short skirts and crop-top while also having the long sleeves cause she was seen as a "mature adult" back in the 1500's, of course we as a society know better now that a 15 year isn't an adult but back then that's what she was considered Sorry for the tirade it just kind of erks me when her story is so crudely put into the box of "she was only a flirt and that's why her outfit is short" and I know you agree with that, especially when there was so much detail and thought put behind every outfit
