I'm working on what I call my Citizen Bibliographer Project, which is currently an Airtable database of publicly available vintage and historic sewing books (and which will, with more free time, be a website at some point). I'd like to include a field so people can see at a glance if they're going to find drafting/tailoring/sewing instruction for what was then considered women's or men's clothing, but I also think the gendering of clothing is unhelpful in our more modern age.
Would 'Clothing Type' be a good solution? The fields would be things like trouser suits, skirt suits, dresses, petticoats, shirts, shirtwaist, etc.?
And is there any information people would like to see at a glance beyond:
date
title
author
subject
publisher
pub location
clothing types
target age
holding library
the current hosting website

Currently thinking about a Jedi cosplay because my partner and I bought ultrasabers and well, one follows the other. He wants Ob-Wan’s lil blue outfit from the show. I, on the other hand, have to be extra, so I was thinking about what historical eras could translate well into a Jedi costume.
Now of course the Jedi have a variety of outfits, but they generally are all sort of loose with simple construction, often involve several layers, have some kind of belt, and a cloak or robe.
Here’s my girl Jocasta Nu, Jedi librarian (thus close to my heart)
Depa Billaba has a short tunic and tabard, with leggings
Shaak Ti has a really cool outfit, with more embellishment
Luminara also has a more intricate outfit. Her live-action version looks like a skirt, but in TCW it seems to be split up the front and she has leggings under. I think for some of the Jedi, their outfits relate to their cultural background or have other significant meanings.
The art for High Republic outfits includes their white and gold formal wear, as well as “leathers” that they wear in regular life
So anyway, these are my basic elements to work with. Up next, some historical periods that I’m looking at!

A couple of my current works in progress!
The first is a pair of early 18th c stays (only the left half is shown). The boning channels and eyelets are done on both halves now, but this is as far as I've gotten so far with the binding.
The second is a needle felted butterfly, around 9 inches across, in bi pride colours. I'm not entirely sure what I'll be doing with it, since it turned out too large for a hair clip.
Like my art? Want to see more? Check out my shop!
