I'm doing some research on Victorian seamstresses and I was wondering if there any books on the subject which anyone would recommend?

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_seamstress_(A_Tale_of_Two_Cities) But the seamstress only appears at the end of the story and has little relevance to the plot.

Here you have some sugestions:

Some more at the botton, specially, Alexander, Lynn. Women, Work and Representation. Athens: Ohio University Press, 2003.
