In searching for when the clothing of a particular doll might have been made, I found the
New York Public Library Digital Gallery. For those of us interested in clothing from earlier times, the images in this digital gallery are priceless. You can search for clothing from different time periods, and narrow your search even further to boys or girls, or decade. Here are some goodies found on the site:

Baby's shoe pattern from 1870
Diagram or pattern for a boys dress, 1853
Diagram for a young lady's jacket, 1853

Chemise, 1875
Have fun searching their collection!
