Round about! This one is more like 1805ish - this is the closest to the construction of mine, except that mine just has big box pleats in the back instead of gathering/gauging. So the outer fabric covers the back and sides of the bodice, with only the lining in two flaps at the front that pin closed - then a rectangle of outer fabric attached to the front of the skirt comes up and pins or buttons over the flaps. It's very convenient!
