A number of clothing types are entirely missing, here are some examples:
The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on the fashion industry, as well as inspiring some creativity in face masks, has included some revivals of historical forms such as the fashion of Marie Antoinette and her dressmaker Rose BertininCottagecore, and also the walking dress. Fashion is deeply historical and cross-disciplinary, and Wikipedia can help to highlight some of those connections. Sara Clugage (Dilettante Army) offered a net of connections on this that include the Wikimedia Commons image of Elizabeth Vigée le Brun's portrait of Marie Antoinette in her purpose-made country clothes for the Petit Trianon, known as the chemise à la reine. As cottagecore often moves the romanticized countryside fantasy to the American West, the "open frontier" fantasy opens up connections to concurrent Indigenous fashions that are often underrepresented on Wikipedia, such as Ojibwe, Navajo, or Dene modes of dress. We can focus on drawing links between existing content on Wikipedia and the gaps that clearly exist around non-white designers, fashions, techniques, and textiles.
You can search free images on Wikimedia Commons from the Met collection here, and there are some suggestions of images and reference sources to add (don't upload new images from the collection, just search for the version on Wikimedia Commons, and put them on relevant articles using the guideline Help:Pictures):

See also Costume Institute Exhibition Binders and Met publications readable online. Be sure to cite secondary sources such as newspaper reviews of exhibitions, not just publications from The Met.
For articles that haven't been written yet, the links create Wikipedia:Drafts.
