These images, primarily from the Wenceslaus Bible of the late 14th
century, were reproduced in Die Mode der Gotischen Frau by
Olga Sronkova.
They supposedly depict members of the Guild of Bathhouse-Keepers
in Bohemia, who may or may not have been ladies of easy virtue.
Their distinctive dress appears to consist of a spaghetti strapped
or strapless, semi-fitted underdress, between knee- and
ankle-length, worn with some sort of long flowing sash, possibly a
towel. They carry badges of office in the form of a sponge/washing
tool on a stick and a wooden bucket.
Two illustrations showing women in childbed also appear to show
them wearing the same type of spaghetti-strap dress, suggesting
that perhaps the bathhouse-keepers are actually simply stripped
down to their skivvies for work in a wet environment, rather than
wearing purpose-built clothing.

Comment: If you look carefully, it's pretty clear that the thing
in his lap really is a backscrubber like all the other
backscrubbers in the pictures.

Nonetheless, the outfits do seem to have become see-thru when
wet:
