In the books department I also recommend old housekeeping books because they often come with sewing instructions and tips relating to the fashions of the era. They are also more directed towards what people actually wore where sometimes fashion plates can have worked the same as today’s vogue editorial and only for somewhat upperclass and inspiration.

You'll need to learn some conversions - for instance, knitting needles and yarn weights are gauged differently now than they were years ago.

Karolina, I am in my sixties, and went back to college at age fifty, majoring in History; what a treat, learning to write papers in this brave new world of online information! Sometimes I would be in conversations with the delightful young people in my classes, and I would describe to them writing a paper in 1978. I would go to the large Central Library in my town, with thesis/subject in mind, praying that I would find three books with anything at all on my topic. In those books, if there was one chapter pertinent to my search, I felt like I had struck gold! It could take weeks to locate just a handful of information needed. It is amazing to be able to learn almost anything I want to, now; my husband and I are a little obsessed by it. We both enjoy your videos!

A really good book on 1850-1900 fashion I read is called “Fashion in Art: The Second Empire and Impressionism” by Marie Simon. It’s on amazon but I borrowed it from my college before. Each chapter goes through artwork from the period and details silhouettes and clothing and shows you what you can learn by looking at paintings from the time.

Foundations Revealed! I think their memberships have closed for this term, but there are still a lot of free resources on the site. They do have a focus on foundation garments (obviously), but they also cover other things, and they’re really useful for HOW historical things were made. And they’ll have masterclasses by different historians on different articles of clothing from specific times, usually with a focus on how to recreate those things, the exact way they were originally made (as best as can be, at least). Also Cathy Hay (who started the website) is a darling. And Bernadette Banner is now a permanent teacher there, which is really cool. Highly recommend.

If you're not a city dweller there's no reason to have to stay indoors, and even if you are citybound getting in your car alone and going for a drive hurts no one. We're supposed to be staying away from other people, not cowering indoors 24/7. Part of the problem the US is having with people resisting social distancing is the way they keep phrasing it like we need to be in the house all the time, which is unsurprisingly not well received by folks in rural areas. My nearest neighbor is a quarter of a mile away. Taking a stroll in the yard is safer than checking my mail box at this point.

Hello! Archivist here! HathiTrust has a lot of digitized volumes of Harper's Bazaar from the 1870s through the mid 20th century that can be accessed fully online! They include full fashion plates and articles-- and sometimes sewing directions! Alternatively, there are smaller institutions that have great costume collections--- the Maryland Historical society recently did a "spectrum of fashion" exhibit along with a really great catalog! Finally: "Dressed for the Photographer: Ordinary Americans and Fashion, 1840-1900" by Joan Severa is a great book that also discusses how you can't necessarily use clothing to completely date a photo, considering that (even today) people will wear clothing that's a few years old-- and how to tell if that clothing might be older than when the photo was taken.

Zhou Daguan's memoirs of Cambodia might also have contained descriptions of what people wore, but I don't know if it included illustrations. The Bankoku Sozu might also have a few indicators, but it was primarily intended to be a map rather than something for fashion, and a world map at that.

The first 'single book of fashion history' that came to my mind was 'How to Read a Dress' by Lydia Edwards. Actually, this was my first book dedicated to fashion history. And you know what? Even I understood that there is just every decade in common, It's cool to have a general view on some periods that don't passionate you that much but you still want to know a thing about them. I mean, isn't every one of us has specific eras that they only interested in but also want to have a look at previous ones? So, this book gives you that. Also, I knew a lot of new usable words that help me now! There is an actual vocabulary at the end of the book, very helpful. Need to add that the pages are very pleasant to the eye, almost every detail of a presented gown is shown and commented by the author. It's like a map :)

what helped me a lot is making a garment based on a picture and just looking at the pattern, next time jou make a garment from this era, study the inside, next time the sleeve, and so on. yes this takes really long but it helped me because you only have to focus on one thing and next time it comes natural so you can focus on the other part, next thing you know you have an accuarate garment.

Fashion history is definitely a difficult thing to research. Especially if you’re researching a specific person, you can look at what people would wear and their social class but it’s hard to know what them as a person would choose to wear. I’ll be sure to check out more resources like this, I’m going to need it lol

1. So NICE to see "current" video outside! 2. Many people researching online Think they Are researching online by asking you. Lol (and you've done a great job here on educating about how to research.) 3. Yes. Better 1 free chapter to inspire than not at all. 4. Bernadette Banner (cough,cough) mentions going to "Google Scholar" to search from and trying it - I found great things like corset catalogue for 1921. ( Wish I could remember the name now. Sorry.) 5. Thanks for being out here in general.

If anyone wants to know more about French women's fashion from 1830, and if you can read French : Manuel des dames, ou L'art de l'élégance, 1833, by Elisabteh-Félicie Bayle-Mouillard. It's on Gallica (a free scanlation by the Bibliothèque Nationale de France). She writes about cosmetics (what make-up they should were, how to make it), hygiene (especially of the teeth), hairdo, dresses (not how to make them but what to wear and how to clean stains and stuffs), corsets, activities. It's like 260p long, no illustrations unfortunately but it is sooooo interesting ! On the same website (Gallica), you can find the Journal des dames et des modes, it goes from 1801 to 1838. It's a fashion magasine (in French), there is usually around 70 to 110 numbers for each years (but nothing in 1812, 1813, 1816 and 1817), with several numbers a month, and in most numbers you can find one or two colored plates. Usually women's fashion, sometimes men's, usually outfit (dress, shoes, hairdo), sometimes just hats. And thank you so much for all the references !

Completely unrelated, but can you imagine the books people will write on what we're going through now? A fashion historian in 100 years will probably write something like "Fashion During The Great 2020 Pandemic". It's absolutely surreal living through such a significant historical event, I'm sure they'll make a ton of books and documentaries about this.

I'm not certain if many, including you Karolina would see this, but... Thank you! I'm quite interested In understanding fashion history, as it gives context to so many literary material that is from the Victorian era and beyond (to the past). I think understanding the context in which people whom we read many of their works and/or their biographies, many events, happenings, places and the way they might have generally looked seem quite vague to us modern readers, as long as we haven't been educated about them. What people from the era intended in the book is one of them! When the context is clear, understood and so on, one can grasp even the more abstract idea of a moral point or such things that the author had in mind better too! The internet has indeed many sources, but for someone like me who is utterly clueless on modern fashion, and my sole motivation of understanding fashion, is the historical version of it, It's rather scattered and it's very precious to have someone that collects all this scatteredness in one set and presents it from a place of human experience.

Something I learned from school was when doing research begin with the bibliography of several books looking for source(s) they have in common. That way you have narrowed down the real beginning point of what would be considered as "MUST" read.

Such is the joy of being a history teacher. "I can't find any primary sources." So then I ask, what's your topic? And my soul falls onto the floor when they tell me, 20th century technology. People don't want to take the effort to look before they ask to be spoon fed. Although, some people do. And I think it has always been that way. People have always been people after all. We just get to encounter more of them thanks to the internet.

I pulled my back out the first week of quarantine. I was trying to deep clean everything, since i had the time. I was stuck in bed for four days. I found the first CosTuber. She had another as a guest, that led to several more. Now I think I follow a dozen of you on here. This has been the most interesting rabbit hole I have ever fallen into. I would never have even found this genera of videos had I not gotten injured during quarantine.

Also a trick concerning academic articles if they're behind a paywall either in a journal or on academia.edu, find the email address/Twitter account of the researcher and send them a message asking if they could send you their article. Most of them are more than happy to give them to you!

I think more general books about art and fashion are a good starting point if you have no idea what you like, so you can kind of get a very broad approach to them and figure out what you like the best and want to research. And then you buy/research more specific books

Books on fashion art and books on the history of accessories, like handbags and books on sewing patterns. I recommend Dover Press for facsimile books, and you can find fashion information in some of their books. There is a Andy Warhol book of his early years working on fashion plates. Go to fashion departments in museums, once this nightmare is over, but there are not only the online resources, you may be able to order the catalogues of previous fashion exhibitions in museum shops online. I have a Mary Quant dress up doll book from the early seventies, it's mine and was brought when I was eleven, but you may be able to find secondhand books and patterns online to buy. Many old school text books have images of generic costumes from different eras.👚👗👠👞👢👡

Another source: your own family. This is a good source if you’re particularly interested in more “everyday/more recent history” fashion items. I talked to my grandmother a lot about clothes (the things she wore, things she made/mended, things she purchased for my mom and aunts). I also spend a lot of time looking through old family photos from the 1930s-1970s.

I have reenacted 1860s womens fashions. I also have a strong interest in early photography. I have found many great books that have both! I also found a source for what different fabrics looked like when processed in early photographs. White looks dark grey, and red can look white! It's fascinating. The early photos are also great for looking at accessories.

My boss is a costume designer for theater and her office and the whole shop is covered in various books about any given period. It depends on the show we're working on, but there's anywhere from three or four books floating around the costume shop for design influence, pattern making, etc. Historical accuracy (while making some adjustments because it's theater) is really big for her, it's crazy to look around and see all of the stuff she has collected in order to get that accuracy. Like you said, you can't just have one book/source that's for ALL of fashion history, the more specific the source is the more detailed the information will be
