Despite their expense, these books are really must-haves, especially this one that has the best patterns for men's clothing during the period covered).

Ackermann's Costume Plates : Women's Fashions in England, 1818-1828    As the title of this book suggests, the subject matter is primarily reproductions of many ladies fashion plates from the highest style journal of the English Regency. Sadly, too few of the plates are reproduced in color, however, the editorial choices made by Stella Blum (at one time curator of the Metropolitan Museum's Costume Collection) about which plates to reproduce, and which ones to print in color are intelligent, and her brief essay of introduction is highly informative. This book is a must for people wanting to see what Regency Fashion looked like, or for people who wish to identify Fashion Plates. People who need a more through text on the subject should also buy "Jane Austen : In Style" by Susan Watkins, Hugh Palmer. People who want guidance on how to make these clothes should also seek out "Federalist & Regency Costume : 1790-1819" ed. by R.L Shep.
