This page is a work-in-progress. I plan to post links to articles on how men and women of the 18th century dressed in America, England, and France. I will also be adding links to places where you can purchase patterns to make your own historical clothing and sources to buy some custom or ready-made.
An article on what people were wearing then.
Also a search for "colonial patterns" or "colonial costume" will turn up lots of ideas. If you have other sources, please send me an email and I will add it below. Email: awordfitlyspoken@gmail.com
