An afternoon at Manchester's Platt Hall costume collection looking at clothing circa 1800's. A little bit before too, as there is a lot of flash-back in Wuthering Heights.
Anyhow, I found it useful, to get a little detail on the frippery cuffs n sleeves worn. Clothing was not disposable then of course- and even a relatively humble 'day-dress' for a middle-class lady was a work of art!
