Yes, the costumes were laughable, but the History Channel is on a budget, especially costume-wise. I caught a making-of...some Am Revolution series I think, and they do these shows or series on really small budgets and timeframes. When they are doing American Revolution or American Civil War they can get reinactors for troops to do it for free practically, so what you see for troops and background people is often more authentic garb and gear-wise than the front and center actors.
For Pirates of the Carribean 2, Simplicity Patterns has a rough approximation of Keira Knightly's wedding dress and a Marie Antoinette gown in one of their "Fall Preview" patterns. Definitely for those that need a fairly quick costume to go as the female leads in PoC or upcoming Marie Antoinette film. Awaiting Martha McCain's rumoured 18th patterns for Simplicity.
