How late a period do you want? The following book covers up through 1500
and (despite the rather opaque title) focusses on Bohemian women's dress.
Sronkova, Olga. "Gothic Woman's Fashion" Prague: Artia, 1954.
UC Berkeley has a copy of it, if you have access to inter-library loan.
(Well, actually _I_ have their copy of it right now, but it's overdue and
I should be getting it back soon.)
