Google books, and found this one.
A Cyclopaedia of Costume Or Dictionary of Dress...

Hi,
I just got my copy of Rosemary Crill's Chintz: Indian Textiles for the West. Oh
WOW. Eighty-eight color plates. A beautiful, wonderful, book -- and for me,
kind of the Missing Link on 17th and 18th century Indian fabrics for the
European and American markets. It's gorgeous.

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

That does sound like a fun find, but do please be very careful of such
tertiary sources (overviews and fact books that aren't actually from the
period in question and just summarize information from sources which
themselves MIGHT refer to the original primary source, but who knows?),

Have the grey tops button up to the neck, with overlapping fronts lapels,
rather like a military coat. Line the lapels with the bright colors you
want. Then, by opening the neck and folding back the lapels, you'll get a
