It looks to me like a stomacher, with the blue ribbon as an applied
decoration. The ribbon is not functional. The gown closes by
pinning it to the stomacher, and the ruching would hide the pins
nicely.
So to construct it, make a stomacher and noodle around with the
ribbon until it looks nice.
I've seen stomachers with ribbon applied criss-cross (faux lacing),
and this just looks like a much fatter ribbon being used.
