Regina, The Sears Catalogs that Sharon wrote about are the Dover publications, a decade of fashion from the Sears Catalogs, from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s and even the 60s, although Lloyd might not find any men's hats in that one. Each decade is also broken down by year so it's even better than you might imagine for dating particular styles. They're a really good reference series, although if you seldom 'do' the 20th Century, they're not that helpful. I have the set and can bring them with me in August, but I'm sure you'll want information before that.
