Hi!
Historically, Jewish women have always tended to dress like the women of the larger culture in which they lived, except that observant Jewish women might cover up more skin, and married women concealed their hair.

Okay, Biblical times--well, there isn't much online. That's because there just *isn't* much, anywhere, in the way of primary-sources (wall-paintings etc) depicting ancient Jewish women.
Try these:

The following site claims to be researching and replicating Biblical dress. Quite frankly, their garments are of dubious accuracy, but at least they give you some sense of what such clothing *might* have looked like:

For your purposes, those sources should give you enough to work from. Hope this helps!
