I want to make one myself for the prom next year! But I can't find a good tut anywhere...
And not that one from threadbanger, that one was just lame in my opinion..
But to get them to look like this one, a dress from Sleepy Hollow,

The best thing to do would be to buy a pattern for a bustle gown, then alter it to make it more screen-accurate.
This site has a lot of free patterns for period clothing that you might be able to work with too:

I didn't see any good bustle skirts on there, but I didn't look to closely so I might've just missed them.

Re: Wanted, tut for Sweeney Todd dresses
I would google "Victorian Gown Patterns". You could also try Civil War Ball Gown patterns since some of the pieces are similar. You might be able to find a pattern you could tweak.
I know that McCalls had some Victorian costume patterns at one point in time because a friend of mine bought one. She got it from Joann Fabrics.
