It looks like I will be helping a local community theater costume Moliere's The Miser. I've worked with this director once before, he would like a period look and respects my attempts to be as authentic as possible for the chosen era (18thC) That being said, since I will be relying on family members of the cast for some of the costume construction I will probably be resorting to some of Butterick's patterns (#4315 &4317) to get these made.
Sooooo, I would like to try to get the fabric as authentic as possible. My 'eye' however is more trained for 16th C and earlier. Does anyone have suggestions for a couple of books I could use to browse through to get a feel for fabrics and patterns for this era?
