The robe looks like academic regalia.
I have a vague recollection of there being a hippy-type fashion for loose flowing clothes and probably long beads, maybe late 1800’s? A reaction against bustles and tight waists and low necklines, I suppose.
Interesting outfit, certainly not formal. Looks like my maternal grandmother but I'm sure it's not.
Six dollars in 1912 equals $200 today.
