Greek Clothing:

Greek clothing was mostly made from wool or linen. The clothing was made very loose and not fitted to the body at all. Both Men and Women garments were essentially the same. The garments were draped on the body in soft folds. A "Doric Chiton" which is shown here in the picture, was worn in the 16th century. "It's upper edge was folded over to hang down the breast, it was folded around the body, caught together on each shoulder by bins, leaving the arms uncovered".
