Daring, but Modest
You want ruffles? You can get them at these two EBay France auctions:

These photos show just how extravagant some of the Belle Epoque dresses worn by the cancan dancers, and the underpinnings, actually were. The Hollywood films weren't exaggerating on that.
These are outside the time period for this group, but they really are great images, and they stick to the black and white theme.
