Roman Clothes When they were inside their own houses, Roman men and boys wore a tunic, which was like a long vest or shirt. This could be worn loose or belted or gathered in the middle. Toga Virilis / Toga Pura This was the toga worn by ordinary Roman citizens. It was not dyed, and so would have been a creamy, off-white colour. Toga Pulla This was a toga worn in mourning when someone had died. It could also be worn at a time of personal danger or public anxiety. It was a dark colour (usually dark grey or brown or black) Toga Picta This was only worn by military leaders who had won a great victory and were being given a triumph (procession through the streets) on their return. This toga was purple with golden embroidery. Toga Trabea This toga was decorated with purple and scarlet stripes. It was worn by Augurs (men who looked for signs from the gods which they would use to advise government officials on what they should do.) Toga Praetexta The toga worn by current and former senators(and also by boys under the age of 16). It bears the purple stripe, the width of which varies according to the wearer. Toga Candida The stark-white toga worn by candidates running for office. The English word "candidate" comes from this usage. Other items of clothing Young boys wore a good luck charm called a bulla. Men were not supposed to wear any jewellery other than a ring used to make their seal on wax. However, many men ignored this rule and wore brooches or other rings. A young boy wearing a bulla Indoor shoes were sandals made by fixing strips of leather to either a tough piece of leather or a piece of cork. Stola Women did not wear a toga. They wore a dress-like garment called a stola. They sometimes wore a cloak - palla - over this. The palla was worn by respectable, married women. Hairstyles Men wore their hair short and were clean-shaven. This was to distinguish them from barbarians. A slave was appointed to arrange both men and women's hair each morning. Women's hairstyles were often very elaborate. This showed they were wealthy and had a slave to do their hair as well as plenty of time to arrange it..

The Development of Early Imperial Dress from the Tetrarchs to the Herakleian Dynasty General Introduction The emperor, as head of state, was the most important and powerful individual in the land; his official portraits and to a lesser extent those of the empress were depicted throughout the realm. His image occurred most frequently on small items issued by government officials such as coins, market weights, seals, imperial standards, medallions displayed beside new consuls, and even on the inkwells of public officials. As a sign of their loyalty, his portrait sometimes appeared on the patches sown on his supporters’ garments, embossed on their shields and armour or even embellishing their jewelry. Among more expensive forms of art, the emperor’s portrait appeared in illuminated manuscripts, mosaics, and wall paintings such as murals and donor portraits. Several types of statues bore his likeness, including those worshiped as part of the imperial cult, examples erected by public 1 officials, and individual or family groupings placed in buildings, gardens and even harbours at the emperor’s personal expense.

A Study on the Design and Composition of Victorian Women's Mantle
Journal of Fashion Business Vol. 14, No. 6, pp.188~203(2010) A Study on the Design and Composition of Victorian Women’s Mantle * Lee Sangrye ‧ Kim Hyejeong Professor, Dept. of Fashion Design, TongMyong University * Associate Professor, Dept. of Clothing Industry, Hankyong National University Abstract This study purposed to identify the design and composition characteristics of mantle through a historical review of its change and development focusing on women’s dress. This analysis was particularly focused on the Victorian age because the variety of mantle designs introduced and popularized was wider than ever since ancient times to the present. For this study, we collected historical literature on mantle from ancient times to the 19 th century and made comparative analysis of design and composition, and for the Victorian age we investigated also actual items from the period. During the early Victorian age when the crinoline style was popular, mantle was of A‐ line silhouette spreading downward from the shoulders and of around knee length. In the mid Victorian age from 1870 to 1889 when the bustle style was popular, the style of mantle was changed to be three‐ dimensional, exaggerating the rear side of the bustle skirt. In addition, with increase in women’s suburban activities, walking costume became popular and mantle reached its climax. With the diversification of design and composition in this period, the name of mantle became more specific and as a result, mantle, mantelet, dolman, paletot, etc. were used. The styles popular were: it looked like half-jacket and half-cape. Ornaments such as tassels, fur, braids, rosettes, tufts and fringe were attached to create luxurious effects.

Sorry, Not Sari
Tamar bat Avraham, Opifex Nobillima Calontir, Barony of Three Rivers https://vestificasericata.wordpress.com/ Last updated 6/4/19 Sorry, Not Sari: Basics of Roman Dress This handout will serve as an overview of Roman clothing basics for men and women, focusing on the earlier Principate era (approx. 1st cent. BCE through 2nd Cent. CE) including discussion of fabric and color choices, appropriate layers, and patterning basic garments. Fabrics In order of common usage when considering the city of Rome and nearby areas. There would likely be some difference for places nearer areas of production. Cotton may have been more common in Egypt, certain areas of Spain were known for their particularly fine linens, etc. Wool: Look for lighter, summer weight wools. If you can find something that has not been processed with modern chemicals, it is less likely to have the itchy feeling that we usually associate with wool. Nettle (somewhat difficult to get modernly as a garment fabric. Sold under the name Ramie), Similar in processing and texture to Linen Linen Cotton Silk (pure silk garments would be rare and quite costly. Silk was often blended with other fibers.) These fibers were found blended in just about any combination you can make (Wool/Linen, Linen/Cotton, Silk/Wool, etc.) so don’t be afraid of blends! Blended fabrics were used both to cut the cost of more expensive fibers and to take advantage of the properties of both fibers, as we do modernly. While the use of saris to create Greek and Roman clothing is popular, most of the modernly available patterns are not at all period.

Glasgow Theses Service http://theses.gla.ac.uk/ [email protected] The Significance of Clothing Imagery in the Pauline Corpus by Jung Roon Kim A Thesis Submitted in Fulfilment of the Requirements for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy to The Faculty of Divinity The University of Glasgow June 1998 Abstract Thesis Title: The Significance of Clothing Imagery in the Pauline Corpus This thesis concentrates on clarifying the significance of the clothing imagery in the Pauline corpus. This imagery occurs in six Pauline epistles (clothing with Christ in Gal 3:27 & Rom 13:14; clothing with the new man in Col 3:9-10 & Eph 4:22-24; and clothing with the resurrection body in 1 Cor 15:49, 50-54 & 2 Cor 5:1-4). The imagery constitutes a significant aspect of Pauline theology. For the background to the Pauline clothing-metaphor, Part I looks into clothing imagery in the OT, 1 & 2 Enoch, Apocalypse of Moses, Philo, rabbinic literature, Joseph and Aseneth, The Hymn of the Pearl, Apuleius' Metamorphoses, the Roman custom of clothing, and the baptismal praxis of the ancient church.
