The object I have chosen to replicate is an Ancient Greek dress. The clothing between men and women in that time period consisted of chiton, peplos, himation, and chlamys. The clothing pieces divided up into two parts. The outfits consisted of an undergarment that was primarily a chiton or peplos and a cloak that was an himation or chlamys. What’s interesting and very necessary for our assignment is that the chiton is based on using wide, rectangular tube of material. Below I have attached a couple of pictures for inspiration for the dress that I will be making.
