Hi there - Helen here. I was thinking of recreating the gloriously,
shamelessly pink Notes/ Prima Donna down from the movie. Be interesting
to hear if anyone's ever attempted this before. I've considered a few
possibilities as regarding patterns - Truly Victorian's Grand Parlour
Skirt looks promising:

And I thought I could maybe use the 1872 Vest basque for the bodice:

Or, at a pinch, the 1881 dinner bodice:

Still very much in the planning stages, though, so any advice, hints, or
tips at all would be most welcome!
