Thank you for your wonderful advice again, I never thought to look in
the back of the book for the sources where the author did the research
from! This is something I got from ebay and thought it would be worth
having, the original would be awesome but this is a copy of the entire
book on cd rom:
"The History of Fashion in France or The dress of women from the
Gallo-Roman period to the present time.
From the French of M. Augustin Challamel.
By Mrs. Cashel Hoey and Mr. John Lillie
1882 "
It has 293 pages which are said to be all included in the disc and for
the price I paid for it ($8) I am sure it will be worth something
without losing much. This seems like a good place to start for my own
collection, minus the dozens of Dover paper doll books my sister and I
have accumlated over the years. I have the Godeys fashion plate book,
and the history of underwear, and the history of the corset and there
are others I want still but it is time to get into the real
researching. Those books are good for at a glance information, and the
pictures are stimulating too of course. Moore College of Art in Phila
is where I went and they had a good library too, I think there would be
no problem with me getting in there and looking around and perhaps
atleast making printouts. they did have antique books in there that
were costume porfolios but I think they were ethnic costumes, worth
taking another look at though. Take care
