Hi jezamonos
officers wore a broad orange sash over the right shoulder hanging in a knot on or below the left hip. Their coats, cuffs, pockets and hats were laced with gold or silver. Gorgets were worn about the throat as an indication of rank.
This is a pain since i have not found a figure like this, the sash is always around the waist.
the cuff lace problem as well

GOOR,
The Foot. The Dutch foot included Scots, Swiss and Walloon regiments. These were usually dressed in red in the case of the first two and green in the latter case. The remainder of the Dutch infantry, except the guard, generally wore grey by 1700. The coat was single breasted, tailored at the waist with a full skirt down the knee. The cuffs were large and full and the jacket had no collar. Beneath the coat was a long waistcoat, white shirt, full breeches and stockings. Buckled shoes were worn. The tricorn shaped felt hat tended to be low crowned. Grenadier hats had a high metal front with a crown, of facing colour, with a pompom. At the back of the hat the bottom turned up and out. Drummers frequently wore reversed coat and lining colours. The foot equipment consisted of brown leather waistbelt for sword and bayonet and, a broad shoulder belt of similar colour with a black cartridge belt.
Hope this help
