Know just what you mean Phily. I spent 20 years doing ACW re-enactment, and I used to make many of the dresses and uniforms. Spent hours searching for just the right braid and just the right sort of material...no synthetics allowed. BTW I was a reb of course, when I wasn't being a southern belle. And that is authentic, there were women who disguised themselves and fought alongside the men. You might find some pictorial references here

The greatest part of wisdom is learning to develop  the ineffable genius of extracting the "neither here nor there" out of any situation...."
