Yes, I'm starting to realize that my costume library from when I
studied costume history eons ago is full of inaccurate information.
Does anyone know of a comprehensive book on costume history that is
really good with lots of primary sources?

Francois Boucher "History of Costume in the Western World" is my
favourite, with lots of text, great photos of garments, accessories,
and paintings, although some are black and white. Mostly there is
good dating and sources, i.e. Prado, V and A etc.
