You can search some British libraries online before you go to see what they
have in there collections. Here are a couple of links:
British library (some branches in London)
http://catalogue.bl.uk/F/?func=file&file_name=login-bl-list
V&A National Art Library http://catalogue.nal.vam.ac.uk/
Museum of London http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/English/Collections/OnlineResources/ and
http://www.museumoflondon.org.uk/English/Collections/1700Today/Dress-fashion.htm I'm not sure if these can be searched, but they do
have a large online bookstore.
Costume Museum at Bath www.fashionmuseum.co.uk/ or http://www.museumofcostume.co.uk/ Neither of these are working just now for me
to get the search link, but I *think* you can search the collection, and I'm sure they have an online bookstore.
Happy sewing,
