Does anybody have
recommendations for a book with a lot of good re-drawings so I can hand
it over to newbies and say 'pick a picture you like anywhere between 600
and 1600' (the text is not as important as accurate line drawings which
allow a newbie to visualise how it will look in real life) and once
they've narrowed it down to a century we can start looking at more
specific resources.
Braun & Schneider - The History of Costume
It's a Dover book, so it's available everywhere. Used copies abound,
many under $10. And it's been made into a website.

It's not a great stand-alone resource, but as a jumping off point it
works pretty well.
