Pirette Concept

Was browsing Wikipedia (as you do) and came across this:
Female pirates of this time (18th century) also had a very unique appearance. In modern media female pirates are often shown to be dressed in the same fashion as their male counterparts. While true, there are also at least a half dozen first hand accounts, collected from port authorities as well as pirating victims, describing a style that was unique to their gender. One trend that was especially popular among female pirates of the South American Pacific coast and Caribbean was incorporating common sailing equipment such as fishing nets, jackstays, trunnels, chocks and cordage into their clothing. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Women_in_piracy

Thought this sounded like an interesting idea and could use it to come up with a more unique pirate concept.
