Does anyone know exactly the styles worn around these times? Country specific would be like britain/england or Romania?

I have been trying to come up with stuff but I don't find much accept old art, and the clothing style is very very simple (what I got from the 900's that I could find). I just thought I'd toss it out there

Thanks to anyone who can help! I really appreciate it!

Just for the record, old art is really all there is to go by to determine what clothing was like in the late medieval era. Any information there is to be found will be based on these sources. Also, pretty much all articles of clothing from that period were simple; clothing construction has come a long, long was.

A very typical garment worn in the 12th century was the Bliaut:

Also the sideless surcoat:

If you're interested in books "Costume 1066 to the Present" by John Peacock is a good visual reference (for English fashion). And that's about all I've got for that period of time at the moment.
