I found this fashion plate that looks very similar to the one in the movie.
It may be a starting point for you. 1870 time period.

Suzi - why not check your local library? That was a popular enough movie,
I
would think they may have it - and it costs nothing! (or perhaps a very
small fee, depending on your library)

Yes, it was a bustle gown. I copied the blue dress, from a
borrowed DVD, but cannot get it again from the owner. You
have to "Join" the shop here to rent videos and DVDs, and I
feel it is a nuisance for just one movie!
Thanks anyway
