The "white" on the third stack is actually a tan. I guess the camera's flash whitened it a bit. Does the print in the third stack feel CW? Let me know if I need to find something else or go shopping!
I think your selection looks great. I make dresses and have been to a few stores that make Civil War clothing also for re-enactors. If you want a not so white look of the last one in the third row, just seep it in a little coffee and wash out. It will add that old look to it.
