I think the fokti example is done quite well, the only quibble I would have is that the original fabric is clearly a densely textured fabric (someone mentioned the original designer said it was like a snake's skin) and the fabric used in the reproduction is not a textured fabric.
This same problem often occurs when we make reproduction historical clothing as many of the beautiful textured and patterned fabrics of the past are just not available or are only available in upholstery weights. Thanks for all the links to the various stills from the film.
