Help making a traditional German dress?

Hey guys, I really need your help in making some dresses for my friends for a competition that they're doing...
I need to make 2-4 German traditional dresses to fit my friends (looking like the picture I attached) and I can't find a paper pattern anywhere! I wouldn't know where to start so I was wondering if you had any suggestions of what I could do
Thanks xxx
