I don't think mess dress has been studied but basically as far as I understand them there are two main patterns, this type and the type for cavalry which buttons at the top.
I have two jackets and trousers, both of this pattern, one is pre WWII and the other is post WWII, but I think the basic design dates back to at least pre WWI, possibly earlier without much change.
Try entering mess dress into an ebay search and see what you get to see the range of them and a rough idea of values.

Thanks for the above. I have tried a number of searches via auction sites and the likes, yet no joy at present.
I shall keep on with the search.
- Should anyone have any further details that would be great.
