They've found an unpicked dress and reconstructed the way it has probably been remade four times from an 1740s original into possibly the 1940s.

wearing 17th/18th c clothes in the 19th/20th c.
@bookandswordblog From what I see in museums (like the V&A), it is mainly the smaller size clothes that survive to this day because the bigger sizes were reworked for smaller people and/or in newer designs. The Costume collection at Worthing Museum has a 1900 dress that I saw there in person (sort of study day) where the neckline/front was reworked at least twice to newer designs.
