I wish I had better pictures of these gowns. The first one is a silk skirt (it's the skirt from the green and cream checked ball gown/day dress) and it is paired with a sheer silk organza bodice and over that is a black silk swiss waist. There are more pictures of the black waist here. The lady on the right is wearing a blue and cream diagonal flower lattice printed dress. I need to get better pictures of the sleeves, but they are a variation of a two piece coat sleeve. The front piece of the coat sleeve is straight, while the back piece has been gathered on the outside seam and I have attached several black glass buttons to the seamed edge. I saw an original dress in an issue of The Citizens' Companion with sleeves like this. Here's a dress that I sold as a Ready-Made item with the same sleeves, minus the button decoration.
