Hmmm...that is a toughie. I know plenty of companies that will sell you
patterns but none off hand that do reproduction work in that time period.
I think your best bet would be to contact a local theater company, esp.
if there is a university/college with a decent theater dept. and ask them
if they have any period pieces in their stock they'd be willing to sell
you.
Another route is to buy some period patterns and have someone make you
some. Again, a college theater department is probably going to be your
best bet at finding someone who knows how to sew period clothing since
a good department is going to do plays and costume designs of all periods.
Or at least a college might have a costume historian on staff that could
help you out better.
Good luck!!
