I posted earlier about the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s 18th century European dress page, but you should check out their costume database as well.

I found this through Mme. du Jard. This website has almost every issue of a German fashion and luxury journal called Journal des Luxus und der Moden, from 1786 to 1827. There are plenty of fashion plates, and if you read German I’m guessing the texts are very interesting. Just click “blättern” and follow the links for every year and month and you will get to the journals.

I found this through a livejournal entry by Lisette la cousette. It’s a huge database of scanned fashion prints of which many are 18th century, and it’s absolutely fantastic! Click the picture to go to the livejournal entry where you follow the instructions to see the prints.
