It’s the weekend before Halloween, so I’m a bit busy helping my children with costumes and not getting much research time in.

So you have something to read, here is _Costume in the Drama of Shakespeare and His Contemporaries_ by M. Channing Linthicum. There is a great discussion of colors and fabrics of the time with useful vocabulary. There’s also a few mentions of pattern books in the section on costume trimmings starting on page 129. https://archive.org/details/in.ernet.dli.2015.184243/page/n2
