Cities were hard hit during the plague because they were cramped and the various vectors which plague spreads are more pronounced. In rural villages? Not so much
Cities might have been hit harder, but Europe didn't lose 1/3 of its population through cities alone.
I'm not an expert, but I think the dress of the second girl from the left is crazy complicated. Like common people started wearing stuff like that after the Industrial revolution made weaving patterned textile cheap.

the white dress? I tried to look it up and I'm wondering if it could be buttons sewn onto the dress as a design? Still a little more fancy, but definitely something within reach for a commoner with a bit of money

There's paintings of people dressed like that from before the Industrial Revolution, but they're all royalty. Maybe the local knight lord gave her the dress or something??
