Middle Ages, Medieval Fashion...

I have a new found interest in all things medieval, particularly fashion. I have been searching for images and photos of clothing from the middle ages to get a real sense of what real clothing actually looked like as opposed to modern costumes. I have also been looking for the influence medieval fashion has on modern fashion (if any). So this is the beginning of my historical journey through fashion of the middle ages.

I am going to list some links to good web resources about this topic:
