These are the books I have used in the past;

20,000 Years of Fashion by Boucher ISBN: 0810916932 It's a bit pricey but worth it.

Complete History of Costume and Fashion: From Ancient Egypt to the Present Day
ISBN: 0816045747

What People Wore is also a good book of overall fashion history.

Some good websites are
http://www.milieux.com/costume/
http://www.costumes.org/
http://www.siue.edu/COSTUMES/history.html
http://www.elizabethancostume.net/

These sites should give you a link to any time period you think you need, and some you may not.

I can help out with clothing piece names and how they were worn etc. especially with how fabric hangs, what it would do in specific situations and the like. Also if you ever want a sketch of something blah blah blah, I would be more than happy to help ya!
