If you are interested in building an authentic 18th century outfit, there are many stores that can help! I have compiled a list of sites that offer historically accurate clothing
http://www.wmboothdraper.com/
Well known within the reenacting community, this store carries fabrics, patterns, and the little notions necessary for authenticity. He also carries many books worth perusing.
http://www.burnleyandtrowbridge.com/
Books, fabric, and even opportunities to refine your sewing/crafting! Another excellent site.

While Mrs. Lynch caters more to the 19th century, she carries patterns and fabric that could be used for the 18th.
http://www.villagegreenclothier.com
A very descriptive site, even shows how to measure for dresses!
