G'Day all, Does anyone have any comments on the following books: 60 Civil War-Era Fashion Patterns by Kristina Seleshanko
AKA Kristina Harris - worth having
Corsets and Crinolines by Norah Waugh - worth having
Costume in Detail: 1730-1930 by Nancy Bradfield - worth having
After a Fashion: How to Reproduce, Restore, and Wear Vintage Styles by Frances Grimble and Deborah Kuhn
Probably worth having but not for me
Nineteenth-Century Costume and Fashion by Herbert Norris and Oswald Curtis - much of Norris's research is now considered out of date and not reliable.
I am interested in adding these and a few more later on to my library and making a few items where patterns are present. Thanks Sidney
