I think you are greatly overestimating the common cosplayer's knowledge of historical textiles. I love historical fashion but other anon's argument about slubs and imperfections is news to me. IMO most cosplayers are just looking to recreate the artwork as closely as possible (for instance most Snow Whites just slap jacquard ribbon on in place of slashed sleeves), not reproduce a 100% accurate garment. I don't think I've ever seen one that falls into that category.
