@VVitchy @AimeeMaroux @Sine @antiquidons @histodons Well, the other issue is that this information simply isn't out there - not Google's fault! A lot of nitty-gritty construction information that comes from trial and error is only produced by reenactors (because it's typically not relevant to academic practice wrt dress history) and so you are very dependent on people maintaining their blogs in order to find info like this.
