     Is it a start of a library, or a start in constuming/reenactment? 
Lots of good books have been recommended, both the "eye-candy"
originals and references complete with pattern drafts.

     In the reenactment community, 'Whatever Shall I Wear," by Mara Riley
ad illustrated by Kate Johnson, is a good starter book, very
practical and inexpensive.
