This is a traditional women’s dress of Ochagavía, a mountain town in Navarre near French border, 1900s.

For centuries, Navarre was an independent kingdom. It emerged in early Middle Ages and, at its height, included lands on both sides of the Pyrenees. This independence lasted until 1512, when southern portion was conquered by Ferdinand of Aragon and integrated into Spain, while a smaller northern part remained under French influence.

@SewBlue @Archaeo-Histories I think that in 1900 they had machines to do that kind of pleating (and it was probably easier for middle class city people to have natural fiber fabric pleated by machine than it it today), but I have no idea how accessible they would be to people wearing traditional clothing in rural settings

Well not necessarily. It's probably wool. There is an old method to make permanent pleats in wool. I think they folded the cloth very tightly and first soaked it, then dried it, perhaps several times, and then let it rest maybe for years (folded, of course) before they started to make clothes of it.
