I'm glad to see the problem was solved. One tool I use for looking up the appearance of specific gear pieces is xivstyle.com, It's missing certain items (achievement rewards, some crafted glamour items (mainly glasses/monocles), current end-game armour sets, etc) but overall I've found it pretty useful.

A faster method than looking something up from a picture is just right clicking on a character to examine them and see what gear they're wearing. Mouse over a piece you want to see the glamour of, and after a second or two the name will cycle to the name of the current glamour in use.
