This is a good resource for costumers; filled with authentic pieces found throughout history, and well referenced.

This book was originally published in the early 20th. Some of Kohler's ideas are now considered inaccurate, including the clothing patterns he created. Nonetheless, it is a useful book, as long as one augments it with other, more recent studies.
