Literature

There's a lot of books about historic clothing, historic patterns, style and whatever. The following list is but a tiny selection of useful literature - further book recommendations that I can add here are very much appreciated! :)

For your convenience (and to pimp my blog a little) I have now included direct links to Amazon which is where you should get most of the books. As for the currently out-of-print books, try to borrow them from a bigger library (e.g. university libraries) or have a look at www.zvab.com, the biggest online exchange for used and rare books.
