Yelizaveta Medvedeva's Garb Reference List
Here's the list of books I have managed to collect. This is strictly
alphabetical by full book name, and gives the author, publisher and date,
ISBN (if present), and a quick note to myself about the contents. Some of
these are not strictly Russian, but I find it's very educational to know
what the surrounding areas were doing. Russia had very strong ties to the
East, so I've picked up a lot of Middle Eastern and Eastern materials as
well. Just so I don't have to edit everything, my European and British
sources are in here, too. I also like to gather history texts as well,
since the way they lived their lives affected what they wore. Hope people
find this interesting!
