How is an Antique Frock Coat's Measurements Supposed to Relate to One's Actual Body Measurements?

Hello!

I wanted to but myself an antique frock coat, as I wanna put together a late Victorian frock coat ensemble.

Problem is, I can't find ANY information about how the measurements of these garments must relate to the measurements of the body.

Does anyone actually know how much difference in centimeters is an antique frock coat supposed to have in comparison to the body measurements? Mainly the chest and waist.

So if I do have 103 waist, for example, how much should the waist of the frock coat measure? Same goes for the chest.

Thanks in advance!
