I am agreeing with Dawn on these two books, not sure about the third, I
don't own it.
The Survey of Historic Costume comes up to modern times, I think the late
1970's/80's and has quite a bit on modern fashion that should be helpful
when tying the course into the rest of your fashion program. I would
suplement it though, as it's just a survey and doesn't go in depth on any
one era or culture. Maybe a suggested reading list to go with the textbook
and class notes.

"Bravery is something you can experience on the spur of the moment, faced
with danger. To have courage, you must think about the dangers in advance,
then weigh the risks, and then do what you have to do, despite your fears"
Caius Merlyn Britannicus
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.
