I was wondering from when the costume is on the left of the picture.
I have been asked to make that costume for reenactment in the
Netherlands during the 1sth world war.
And I wonder if that dress is the right period.

Ye, I agree, this is not any particular period but it is trying to be vaguely
Victorian. If you can find the patterns that were released after 'Titanic'
became popular, you will be much closer to the corrrect style.
Like these:

There is a Past Patterns pattern called the Armistice Blouse which is the
correct period. I think they have a skirt that goes with it, too,
otherwise, a narrow, ankle length one will do. And if the re-enactment is
showing the deprivations of the war, just use early 1900's.

Definitely NOT 1914-1916.
I once did a show during WWI (took place in England) and those years are
actually kinda hard to pin down. The hobble skirt (think My Fair Lady) is on
the way out but the 1920's are not here yet...but showing a bit. I learned
things still have a strict...sometimes
That almost-A-line skirt is a walking skirt, and Folkwear has a
lovely pattern. On my way out the door or I'd look up the
number...but of course it's on their website

Almost there. I think a bit too early for 1911. But, I do see where you are
going with this. Remove ruffles, lengthen, loosen and widen the coat for
more of 1911 fall dress something like this maybe:

Is there a simple way of measuring/marking fabric that is 94cm wide
and need to have a piece of fabric 194cm wide pleated onto it, where
the pleats are inverted and all need to be the same size?

Sorry, my measurements were wrong -
it should read as:
fabric 94cm
fabric to pleat to fit above 284cm
