This 17th century album, simply entitled 'Turkish Costumes', is hosted by the Digital Library of Poland [thumbnail page]
There are more than one hundred figures depicted -- probably a cross-section of Constantinople middle to upper class occupations -- in Ottoman/Turkish garb with original illustration titles in Arabic script. Later Turkish and French handwriting provide translations (presumably) of the occupation names.
I haven't really had a good look through these but SCA have compiled a selection of links related to Ottoman costumes.
Previously, in general: costumes.
