Help me cosplay as my great-great-great grandmother
Can anyone help me find a pattern to recreate this dress from 1888? I'm open to period accurate patterns and modern reproduction.

A friend of mine is in the sewing machine market so I lifted the cover of this machine while I was thrifting. I almost walked away, then came back for it. I think I've escaped the "grease turning to concrete" issue. My other machine is a Singer 604E (inherited from my grandma), so I thought all the stitches on this would be a good complement.
