I may have missed it, but how wide is the fabric?

4.4 x 1.1 meters or about 170 by 43 inches.

That kind of width makes weaving by a "homemaker" of any time unlikely--more likely a pro, well-equipped. 43 inches would not necessarily be the width of the loom--a woven fabic, released from the loom, will draw back somewhat, though linen not as much as wool, which is quite elastic.

I've been thinking more about the tuck/pleat mentioned. Depending on how it looks, it could very well indicate an intent by a later sewer to make use of the fabric for some purpose--starting to make a shirt/chemise, for instance, and stopping for whatever reason.
