I'm looking for web sites and/or books that give good, succinct surveys of fashion history. I need these for my class, my students are going to have to write a fashion research paper so I need some resources to help show them a basic time-line of costume history.

Danke!

I had them write a bit about what they've done in earlier English classes and what they would like to study in this class. The time periods they mentioned the most were Victorian / Civil War and 1950s. One student wants to research the origins of punk clothing! Cool!
