Dictionary of English costume, by C. Willett Cunnington was a comprehensive catalogue of fashion terms from the mid-medieval period up to 1900 (see above entry). Dictionary of Fashion History updates and supplements the Cunningtons' work to bring it up to the present day. However, the earlier version is still useful and should be consulted.

The above book is available online through Berg Fashion Library.
