Or, another idea that I've used, buy the cheapest fabric at Wal-Mart clearance you can find, cut it all you want, sew it with a basting stitch until it fits, take it apart, then use it as a pattern. That way you're not cutting into expensive fabric without knowing how it's going fit.
I went to the real "Denver fabrics" store in Denver once, I think I needed something to catch the drool. 2 racks devoted just to silk *alone*. Yummy. Not too expensive either.

If you are worried about hacking on something expensive, try shopping at the $2/yard table anywhere and going for cotton. East side Wal-Mart has some great stuff on their sale table that will give you a period look. Go for fabric that is 100% cotton, not printed (not white on one side) and in a color that doesn't make you think "That ain't natural!". Hack away!
For the fun stuff, I like Denverfabrics.com. SCA porn!
