So, this is interpreting the red fabric beneath the laces that sort of is creeping upward above the laced kirtle as an independent piece of fabric that is pin in or otherwise fashioned to fill in beneath the lacings?
I can check with Mistress Katherine. Sometimes it's in the terminology - if there's another name for that sort of thing, searching with THAT term might turn something up.
In all honesty, I don't really read that as a separate piece. I think the outer garment is laced over a kirtle in this case. In both instances, if you look very closely, you can see the side edge of an overskirt that implies that (for instance) the red piece and red skirt are one piece. Or, potentially a pair of bodies that laces up the back with a separate petticoat pointed on. That seems more likely for some of the other garments I've seen in Noord-Holland where the skirt is much fuller. The nearly ubiquitous apron makes it darned hard to tell.

I'll see what I can hunt up for you!
