Thank you Bjarne,
I got to playing around with the search engine, and found this
interesting gown, from the House of Worth.

I found it amusing that they would do a renaissance style gown for
the well to do. I could almost see this gown on a "friend of
faire" person, someone who likes to dress up with something that
looks kinda right, but isn't.
And in purple velvet, it's rather fetching.

I have a fashion print showing "historical" outfits for a fancy
dress (costume) ball in the 1880s. It's hilarious from a costumer's
viewpoint. Imagine Mary Queen of Scots with an 1880s shape. :-D Very funny.

There is a lovely book, probably out of print now, called "Van Dyck
in Check Trousers" which is about exactly this subject. Has some
great "historical" examples, mainly in paintings, but also some photos.
