ooooh, boy. This was quite a long time sewing. Hurrah for Netflix.
Someday, when I've recovered, I'll make another one. More steampunk-i-fied!
This one based on two garments from Patterns of Fashion.

Wow, did you do all those pleats yourself?

ah. I have a secret weapon. My vintage ruffler/pleater attachment on my old Singer machine.
Even though it makes lovely pleats, it still takes a lot of ironing to turn the results into pretty pleats.

Very nice, and I really enjoyed the blog post too! I have used the pleater, and it is a useful thing indeed!

Very nice outfit!

I must get the courage to try my pleater at some point.
