Strictly speaking women in the Kent Areas, who are thought to be Jutish and
can be known as Kentish too, their habits & dress varies considerable from
either Angle or Saxon Costume. Much of it reflects (it is thought) their
close associations with the continental mainland. Other examples would be
claw beaker production etc. For my interpretation of Kentish/Jutish female
dress see www.maering.co.uk

so far, this is the only thing I've found out on the net: http://www.canterburytrust.co.uk/hilights/saltwd.htm
  I haven't had time to go to the library and see if any of the
archeology journals have anything

For excellent information about these crystal balls, please see Gale 
Owen-Crocker's seminal book, "Dress in Anglo-Saxon England".  All other 
information I have comes from articles about the Merovingians.

<<< Since my area is choking on Vikings I  thought I'd do something slightly different and go Anglo-Saxon. Good  Anglo-Saxon female costume articles are harder to find. Any tips on good  websites? I'm also interested in vendors selling accessories.

<<< Can anyone point me to a web site or book that might have descriptions or illustrations of post-Roman clothing in Britain? I am particularly interested in the 6th century. Thanks!

If you can, try to find copies of Gale Owen-Crocker's book Dress in Anglo-Saxon England, and Penelope Walton Rogers work Cloth and Clothing in Early Anglo-Saxon England.  These are both scholarly works that cover the period you are interested in rather well.  They should be available through interlibrary loan.  I have heard that Rogers book is out of print now.
