From School Library Journal:

Gr 8 Up–Abandoning her plan to visit her boyfriend in Boston, Libby Kelting, the protagonist from Strohm's Pilgrims Don't Wear Pink (Houghton Harcourt, 2012) and her best friend, Dev, a fashion designer, head to the South to sell period gowns to the wives and girlfriends of Civil War reenactors. Libby is secretly a history nerd and is excited about this adventure. However, traveling from battleground to battleground without the comforts of daily life (showers, air-conditioning, and Starbucks) takes its toll on the teens, as does the ghost that has been haunting Corporal Beau Anderson, who happens to be hot and has his eye on Libby. Readers will wonder if Libby will fall for Beau or remain loyal to Garrett. Teens who like a mix of realistic fiction, historical information, and humor will enjoy Confederates Don't Wear Couture.–Shannon Seglin, San Antonio Public Libraryα(c) Copyright 2013.
