Kohler
Hey, Kohler has pictures of real garments (albeit displayed on live models),
and also some decent drawings of patterns taken from them--I've used one of his
early 19th century bodices as a guide.

I am the proud (?!?) owner of a copy of "Ancient Costumes Of Great Britain
and Ireland", by Charles Hamilton Smith, originally published in 1814.
Maybe this is the source of the "Druid sleeves" on half the costumes offered
on eBay....
But it's a nice big book and does good duty as a lap desk. :-P
I seem to be collecting Bad Books. I also have Peacock, and Kohler, and
a couple of volumes of Norris....
