I am currently working on a comic and would like some help with how People in Japan would dress before and during the feudal era.
What I am having the most trouble with is the fashion of what royalty/gods would wear for both men and women. I have many ideas of what they might look like but I would enjoy these things to be more authentic than for what I have in mind.

In general, I need some ideas, images, and descriptions of what they would look like, mostly for men but ideas for feminine dress would be helpful as well.

From what I know - I think very expensive Kimonos would be a start, and look at pictures from the time - they may help

Here's a couple of links which may help:

Well during the Tokugawa era of feudal japan 1603-1867 the Shogunate imposed strict rules even concerning dress to samurai and even to women.

There was an amazing blog featuring information on this, but I cannot find it for the life of me! I will keep on looking, though and I will definitely post it when I find it.
