Questions & Answers about زن جوان دامن سبز پوشیده است و کنار پنجره ایستاده است.

Why are we using the Present Perfect form پوشیده است to say "is wearing"?

For verbs of condition and clothing, Farsi uses the Present Perfect tense to describe an ongoing state. She put the skirt on in the past, and she is still wearing it now. If you used the present continuous دارد می‌پوشد, it would mean she is actively in the middle of putting the skirt on right now!

Does ایستاده است follow the exact same rule for "is standing"?

Exactly. Posture verbs like ایستادن (to stand), نشستن (to sit), and خوابیدن (to sleep/lie down) use the Present Perfect to show a current state. She got into a standing position, and she is still in that state.

Could I drop the first است so the sentence flows better?

Yes, it is very common to drop the first auxiliary verb when two Present Perfect verbs share the same subject and are joined by و. You will frequently hear this sentence shortened to دامن سبز پوشیده و کنار پنجره ایستاده است.

I don't see the word for "a" (یک) or the suffix -ی attached to دامن سبز. How do we know it translates to "a green skirt"?

When describing what someone is wearing in a general sense, Farsi often leaves out indefinite markers like یک (a/an). You just state the clothing item and its color, and the "a" is naturally implied in the English translation.
