As far as I know, there were not any "texts available for more accurate
patterns" despite what the writer had said -- at least, not by our 21st
century standards -- but if some of you who were doing historical sewing
in the 60s knew of any, please do post!
Hill and Bucknell's The Evolution of Fashion was published in 1969. It was
intended for theatrical use rather than strict historical recreation, but
at least it came with patterns. I joined the SCA in 1971 and was an
anomaly because I already owned Davenport's costume book and tried to
recreate costumes from in there.
