OK, there is definitely enough of the bottle green Thai silk for an uwaginu (the robe with the flowy sleeves) and I've got two different Asian "brocades" in red that could work for the haishi (the vest).
http://www.iz2.or.jp/fukushoku/f_disp.php?page_no=25 shows layered skirts, however, the reconstruction in the Nuikata book has a single skirt in tiers - top tier pleated into waistband, second tier pleated into top tier.

I remembered that Jo Anseeuw has a great gallery of Jidai Matsuri photos on pBase. This one is lovely and gives me a clue about what to do with my hair. Not to mention buying a giant scarf from Dharma and playing with dye.

Another great photo off Flickr, by Jon Rocatis. http://www.flickr.com/photos/rocatis/304448644/

The matsuri re-enactors don't seem to have layered skirts, from what I've found so far, which would mean less to sew. I admit I could go either way on that.

I've went to that parade in Kyoto when I was living in Japan. Somewhere in a box I have a ton of photos--although I was mostly shooting the juxtaposition of old school costume with modern giant Seiko watches, that kind of thing.

The one in the front appears to be a miko (Shinto shrine acolyte) dressed for travel. The two behind her are dancers or players of some sort.

See the figures at the center of http://www.tnm.jp/modules/r_collection/index.php?controller=dtl&colid=A11530&t=type_s&id=11

No clue about the head wraps - I've seen them on male kyogen actors playing female roles though.
