Patterns?

[Shenok]

Okay, I'm going to try and attempt this...

I've never done it before, but it's kinda difficult to find clothes to modify for it. I even went as far as considering ordering them from re-enactment departments, but they cost hundreds of dollars each.
My only option now in attempting to make it is via patterns.

My project: Civil War outfits (both sides).
I at least need the tops; pants, I can handle on my own.

I kinda need these done by around September (the beginning of October will really be pushing it), and I'm still scrambling to even start them! XD;;; _{I'm not real quick in making cosplays yet.}

Anyone have any idea on where I can try and look for patterns? OTL

hm, sorry, no idea but i get to wear civil war outfits a lot since i work at Old Time Photos and the top is short of like a really long button up shirt with a belt in the middle. The collar is the only thing thats really strange on it.
