The Met has an awesome show called "Death Becomes Her" Mourning clothes from
1800-1915or so. One of Queen Victoria's gowns is on display, and two from
Alexandra, Edward's wife. You should not miss it. It is in the costume
institute, below the Egyptian Exhibit.
I believe the show runs until February.

Also, I've checked the Met and FITM for costume exhibits and there
doesn't seem to be anything particularly exciting on their schedules.
Can anyone suggest any other museums or exhibitions that would have
(historical) costumes on display?
I'd check the People Center at the American Museum of Natural History for
costumes of indigenous peoples. I might also check the Museum of the City of
New York, the New York Historical Society, the Museum of Folk Art, and the
American Crafts Museum to see if there will be any interesting exhibits. You
might also check to see if you can do some specific study at the Met's
Costume Institute, if there's something particular you wish to research.
