Some interesting sites!

to share with you, and for me to never forget them.

This Denish site has some very beautiful costume from 1700 to the 1980's. But aside from the eye-candy, it also gives the patterns of some of the specimen! Off course, it's all in Danish, but with some experience in pattern drawing and a little bit of grammatical imagination, that should not be much of a problem.

Here you can look through some older books (pre-1900 till 1950's) about subjects like dressmaking, pattern design and millinary. Unfortunately these books are not in pdf, and from the titles I searched I couldn't find a (satisfying) free pdf either (and I don't like to pay for stuff I can get for free).
