This is dated to 1876, but has a lot of construction information that is really cool :)

Also yeah, pleatings tend to be single stitched, but it also details how to make a bertha and how to bind the waist of bodices.

Most of the archive books I've grabbed are from later but I am sure I have seen another book that has diagrams for trimmings. It's just in an easy to find folder right now.
