There are a couple of possibilities here. This may simply be a referrence to the normal mode of dress of the landlady. However, it is known that Mother Redcap was also a nickname for an ale-wife, or a woman running a public house.
Old Mother Redcap, according to her tale,
Lived twenty and a hundred years by drinking good ale,
It was her meat, it was her drink and medicine besides,
And if she still had drunk ale, she never would have died.
And here we see her pulling a pint.
