Wow! I got lost on this site for about an hour. And 100 pages of printer
Yes, isn't that a wonderful site! I also found this one quite helpful:

Seeing the construction details are marvelous. One thing I did find
challenging about these "extant gown" sites, though: very often they
display the clothes on modern mannequins or dress forms. It gives one an
improper impression of how the gown should hang, usually because the
bust is lower and shaped differently than a corseted figure. Just
something to take into account when making the gown...
