Are you looking for "clothes" or "cloths"? If you're looking for clothes, there's a great resource page at:

Do you mean fabric from the 1700s?
That may be hard to do. You may find reproductions. Try a fabric shop like JoAnns or Hancock Fabrics. Many quilt shops carry reproduction fabrics (costing about $8 -$10 a yard).
You may want to try "Googling" reproduction fabrics and see what you get.

If you're making it yourself, find a book about 18th century fashion or culture if you can, or really just any book about the 1700s that has pictures in it. Look at the pictures and copy it yourself, or have a seamstress do it if your'e not good at sewing.

At your local fabric store, check out the pattern books in the Halloween costume section. There are always "period" costume patterns to be found there. Check out the following websites to see what is available this year:
