There is a Past Patterns pattern called the "Armistice Blouse" which is the correct period. I think they have a skirt that goes with it, too, otherwise, a narrow, ankle length one will do. And if the re-enactment is showing the deprivations of the war, just use early 1900's.

If you can find the patterns that were released after 'Titanic' became popular, you will be much closer to the corrrect style.
