In this video, I make an 1882 Natural form era victorian day gown. This style is habit style gown inspired by riding suits often worn as walking suits and other daytime informal activities.
This is made with a mixture of historic and modern techniques but the overall shapes are completely accurate to the era.
The patterns come from this book:

For my reference in style, materials used in this era and construction I sed these fashion magazines and book:
