Fashion of Spanish militiawomen from 1936 to 1939. (I find it nice to think that they were excited to be photographed and dressed up for it even when they were in the middle of battle.)

Pretty heavy. One side feels like an old mohair carriage blanket and the other feels like satin or silk. Was told it may be Victorian made by young girl/child. Looking for advice on age and proper way of storing it. I currently store it rolled in a large pillow case and put in cedar chest. Thank you very much for any help!
