I don't know of any resources either, but maybe you'd find something on powells.com or amazon.com? Also, an internet search for books or musuems on the subject?
This is a bit off this subject, but wasn't someone here looking for a book about a real frontier person? I saw this on powells.com:
The Adventures of the Woman Homesteader: The Life and Letters of Elinore Pruitt Stewart by Susanne Stewart
I haven't read it and don't know anything about it, but is *sounds* interesting.

The Pruitt Stewart book is good.

I think the reason I haven't found any in-depth studies of frontier fashion is because there aren't any. I've tried Amazon and Alibris, and they have stuff on nineteenth-century fashion (e.g. the corset), and on fashion and costume today, but nothing that specific. Good! Looks like I've found myself an original topic then.
