I bought Costume in Detail at last year's ReenactorFest, and it's definitely worth a squeee! My best present was the 1790-1820 women's shift pattern from Kannik's Korner - everything is historically documented, and all the directions are for authentic handsewing techniques! I can't wait to get started. I also got a reprint of an 1811 etiquette book, which seems to contain a great deal of advice on Proper Dress. An invaluable resource for the Regency geek!
