Victorian inspiration help?

I posted this on the DFWCG facebook page, but I'm gonna ask it here, too, since there's not total crossover and I would love to hear from yall here.

I'm needing some inspiration - I'm wanting to make a frothy, white Victorian summer dress. I have tons of the perfect fabric and I have some patterns from Truly Victorian to work with as a starting point (early bustle, natural form and late bustle). Does anyone feel like sharing some images from that time period? Portraits or photos are great!

Tissot! He did a number of paintings of ladies in exactly those frothy white gowns.

I also found this site, which has tons (all?) of his stuff. Exactly what I was looking for!
