Clothing and
Pattern Sites -
Europe:
The Milanese Tailor's Handbook. In period illustrations,
clothing, horse, and accessory patterns... all with an Italian
flavor: http://www.elizabethancostume.net/Tailors/
Eastern Europe:
Yurts by Rainier.
I know it's not exactly Elizabethan but Yurts have been
around for centuries and are still used today in Mongolia
and other parts of Asia. The design has remained virtually
unchanged in all that time. This particular site focuses
on beautifully constructed, high end yurts that have practical
applications for permanent use.
The Balkans and Caucasoids:
The Middle East:
Asia:
Max Tilke's Oriental Costumes. Not everything is in the
time period but can be used as an ancillary source and the
illustrations are excellent for showing seams and seam placement:

Online Fabric Stores -
Listing these stores in no way endorses them or implies any
sort of guarantee of service. I've had good luck with them
but your experience may vary. Caveat emptor...
www.fabric.com

Rating: Excellent.
Upgraded from: Ok.
UPDATE 1/13/05: These folks are
rapidly becoming my favorite fabric store. They seem
to have addressed the customer service problems that
I had with them in 2002 and are now extremely responsive
and have a great inventory as well as great prices. |
Online Book Stores -
Can't find those pesky out-of-print books? Try these shops,
all of which I have had excellent luck with. Again, the listing
of these stores in no way endorses them or implies any sort
of guarantee of service. Caveat emptor...
