Here is a run down of all the layers.
Cotton/linen smock: Machine sewn with hand finished seams and hems.
Cuffs: Machine “blackwork” with silk thread, hand hemmed, they lace on to the smock cuffs with fingerloop braid so I can change them out as needed and wash them separately.
Rust red petticoat: Same one I wear with all my clothing.

The jackets in Seventeenth-Century Women's Dress seem to be stabilized this way as well. So, it's an old trick!
