Re: Scans from my book

It looks like the sort of thing I used to see at Doll Books and More; they did doll shows once upon a time, but they're all online and eBay now. I know it's terrible of me, but I don't buy books for research anymore. Maybe if they have patterns I can adapt, but for the kinds of things I'd use that research to make, it's simpler (and cheaper!) to look at extant photographs and garments and period illustration online and just draft my own patterns. For non-Medieval stuff, I usually turn to the Antique Dress Museum pages. And I know you don't trust re-enactor blogs particularly, but it REALLY helps me to see Medieval reproductions done up in actual fabric, photographed from all sides.
