Where can I find basic information on fashion in pre-revolutionary france?

by Superpowered-Baby

I'm going to direct a play that takes place shortly before the french revolution and need to work on the basic ideas for costume design. While I'm going to take a somewhat stylised approach, I still want to try to stay true to the basic shapes and styles of french fashion at the time and I'm going to need at least a basic understanding. Any tips on where to find information on this would be greatly appreciated!

I would suggest the books on the 18th century list in my profile - they're a combination of pattern books, catalogues, and academic texts.
