I donated multiple bags of clothing, shoes and accessories to goodwill, FMV over 1200. How do I fill out the form for so many items?

Can I lump all together and estimate original cost of all together?

You should list donations by date.  If all at once, you can have one entry but if over several days you should have one entry for each day.  You can group items together, you don't need to itemize every piece.  You can give a group description and a group estimate.  However, you should have your own written inventory of the items donated with enough information to determine the fair market value -- at a minimum, a brief description and the used condition (good or fair, you can't claim poor condition items unless you have an appraisal).
