I just finished a college level program that used "Survey of Historic 
Costume: A History of Western Dress" by Phyllis G. Tortora, Keith 
Eubank.  It's current and it brushes past history and costume, combining 
social and political influences.  As someone who was already very 
interested in historic costume before I took the class, I must admit, I 
found this book vague and well, lacking.

My favourite for teaching a class on Historic Costume would be 20,000 Years 
of Fashion by Francois Boucher.  I like the text and I like that it is full 
of art that illustrates style.
