I think if you appliqued the skirts and petticoats down in layers, that might work.
Maybe do sort of a trapunto-like thing for the bodies for dimension.
Of maybe make a doll with a flat back and shaped top, stuff it a bit - dress what will show - and applique it all down.
I don't know - I'm just thinking out loud.
