Here is a picture of an Etruscan (the civilization that came before Rome):

Here is an article about Roman women's clothing:

This site has pictures of clothing from 9th to 15th centuries (the medieval period):
http://www.h-istoria.it/Articoli/Il%20Costume.htm

After that comes the renaissance. The various Italian city-states like Venice and Florence were major trend setters during this period. Google "Italian Renaissance Clothing" and you'll give more pictures (and descriptions, and instructions on how to make them) than you can shake a stick at!

A close fitting garment with sleeves worn by both genders (c1450-)
'An Italian medieval fashion worn by both sexes, full length for women and tunic length for men. It varied in style from the 12th to the 14th centuries, but generally the sleeves were long, and the body closefitting.' [Wilcox, 1969]

Until mid-15th century, flap from elbow was lengthened into a band called a tippet, or Fr. coudicre. Sometimes with a buttoned front fastening and often 'dagged' for decoration.' [Davies, 1994]
'gown for men or women.' [Medieval Timeline in Fashion and Events (http://romancereaderatheart.com/medieval/timeline/)]
