I buy from reproduction fabrics.com. Margo, the owner, is an expert on reproduction fabrics. If she says it's civil war reproduction then it's authentic. The movie industry consults her a lot when it comes to period films. There was a great CW film a couple of years ago (can't remember the name but as good as it was it didn't be come a block buster) for which she supplied the quilts. And if you have questions, you can get answers. I try to stop there whenever we go to Montana :D

I believe the movies you are speaking of is Gods and Generals along with the movie Gettysburg. Even though historically not accurate both movies are very good. They are based on the books by Michael Shaara Killer Angels and Gods and Generals. Also by Sharra was the Last Full Measure. All 3 are must read books for the Civil War buff.

SewRepro.com and Bonniebluequilts.com

whenever we travel we listen to the soundtrack from Gettysburg. It is our favorite cd.

the one from Gods and Generals is good too

Some years ago I found a very large woman's OLD dress
in an estate sale. It looked like it had been worn and washed
for a hundred years. It had small pinkish brown roses on a cream background.

For my sister's Civil War Reenactment clothes I used my Grandmother's old sun bonnet as a pattern and made her one. I had enough fabric left over to make her a waist apron
with small ties.

She said it looked so authentic that she could have sold it several times over!

Look in all the odd spots such as estate sales and antique shops. Just might find what you want.
