'The Tudor Tailor' by Ninya Mikhaila has lots of styles that are either working class or easily adaptable to working class. I believe it is readily available on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Tudor-Tailor-reconstructing-sixteenth-century/dp/0896762556/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1/104-0545319-9158352?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1189168104&sr=1-1 Karen Seamstrix
