Hello,
I'm looking for aristocratic clothes as in the 17th-18th century in England.
To give you an idea, this is the kind of clothes.

I particularly seeks the kind of "coat, vest" that puts over clothing.

So, I'm looking for a website who sells that or simply the name of those clothes to facilitate my research.

Thank

Google "Colonial Williamsburg." Contact people in that part of Virginia. There are hundreds if not thousands of folks who dress up in that sort of thing over there. If you are unsuccessful with your search PM (private message) me and I will put you in contact with the right folks.

Cheers,
Isaac

http://www.sutlers.co.uk/ is a good place to start.

Also, I know an excellent seamstress who has some experience with the period you're talking about. PM if your search doesn't turn up what you're looking for.
