This is for thal but also anyone else who is interested! I know I said that when I was at the Victoria & Albert Museum WAY back that I'd take some pics of Victorian dresses, and I did but I am lame about uploading photos. I finally got around to it though, and since it's so late I threw in some scans I took from a book my friend lent me from the Kyoto Costume Institute.
I'm not sure exactly what you wanted...I know you're really into civil war stuff but I wasn't 100% sure which styles made their way over there then (fashion wasn't so fast in the 1800s and I'm more familiar with European fashion of that time) so I have a bunch of stuff from the 1840's-late 1860's.
