Suzi,
What a comprehensive list of references! The only thing I could
think of adding is a web site that was given on this list:
http://lafayette.150m.com/thumbscourt.html . I don't know why I
saved it since I don't do early 20th century anything, but the
images are lovely.

Thanks - I had forgotten that - I may have a military costume to
produce, as long as it isn't a known regiment - and those military
images are brilliant. The ladies though are a bit dressy, even for
my customers - I only do "gentry" you understand!!
O.K. I have the chance of a very large commission for costumes of
c.1898. I already have a huge library, but wondered if there was
anything era specific that anyone would care to recommend. I
already have the following books on my shelves, along with many,
many others, and I do not wish to spend money on anything unless it
gives me information I don't already have. I do not want books on
Victorian sewing techniques, as I will not be necessarily be copying these.
Jean Hunnisett, 1880-1909
Janet Arnold 1860-1930
Cut of Women's Clothes
Cut of Men's Clothes
Several Shep reprints of tailoring in the late Victorian era, male and female
Costume in Detail
Corsets and Crinolines
Kristina Harris (the book on late Victorian fashion)
Harpers Bazaar
Cunnington - Englishwoman's Clothing of the 19th century.
Fashion through Fashion Plates
Hand coloured fashion Plates (Vyvyan Holland)
My own fashion plates
Any suggestions? I am very specifically looking for fashion as worn
in England.
