Unless Dover has some really great new books, I would not go with Dover's images. They are line drawings. So are the Tom Tierney and Braun & Schneider illustrations.
There is a really expensive ($150+) costume cd on Amazon, but I do not know how good it is. If You Google "Images" under a painter's name or a time period (eg: Bronzino or Sixteenth century clothing), you will get great sources-- period paintings. For real primary sources (clothes) look in Museum collections. You will be able to get things you have not seen in books lots of times. I have been teaching costume history for years and When I made my CDs to teach each topic/ period, that is what I did and the students love the pictures.

I'll check out Dover though. Thanx.
