If you don't think much of Racinet, what about Kohler? ALthough his
book was written in the twenties, he appears to have a lot of primary
sources. I find his diagrammed patterns of clothing interesting,
although they are conjecture. They seem well thought out.

use Racinet's illustrations to supplement the history section.
Considering his book was written in the 1800s, what do you experts
think of it in terms of accuracy?
In light of the negative responses to this question, what book would
