The list seems to have eaten my first response:
The current favorites, based on a quick web survey of posted class
syllabi, are:
The History of Costume: From Ancient Mesopotamia through the Twentieth
Century. Payne, B., Winakor, G., and Farrell-Beck, J. New York:
HarperCollins, 1992.
Laver, J. Fashion: A Concise History. Thames & Hudson 2002.
Survey of Historic Costume, 3rd edition, by Phyllis Tortora and Keith
Eubank
Any of those ought to be a good start, supplemented by the teacher's
notes, of course.
