I've tried the Brustfleck as a simple bust-cover. It doesn't work well. But if you wrap it around yourself and then pin the gown to it, it keeps the sleeves on your shoulders. And interestingly, I get that "bend" that you see in period portraits that makes it look like the sleeves are about to fall off but never do.

Wanna read something similiar I've been thinking about these gowns?
