A doll is used here to demonstrate how it is done. The first piece covers the back:</p> <p><img src="imag.htg/peplos1.jpg" alt=""/></p> <p>The second piece covers the front.</p> <p><img src="imag.htg/peplos2.jpg" alt=""/></p> <p>The two pieces are pinned alond the top of the arms joiining the two pieces together. The pins are like hatpins about 6 inces long. A better choice would be brooches that had a greek decoration. In ancient Greece these were called fibulae:</p> <p><img src="imag.htg/peplos3.jpg" alt=""/></p> <p>Side view:</p> <p><img src="imag.htg/peplos4.jpg" alt=""/></p> <p>Excess material is pulled up and the material is gathered at the waist with a tie or belt. The garment can be sewn into a tube if desired. The style of the garment is determined by how the garment is gathered and tied. Notice that the garment, as worn by the ancient Greek ladies was somewhat revealing. A more opaque cloth can be worn, or a bodysuit can be worn. It is also possible to wear one garment over another to get more layers.</p> <p><img src="imag.htg/peplos5.jpg" alt=""/></p> <h2><a href="index.html">Click Here for Menu Directory</a></h2> <p>Advertisement:</p> <h2>Buy <a href="sguide.html">Ancient Greek stuff</a>, <a href="grepq.html">Traditional Books</a>, <a href="grepcoe.html">Collectibles</a>, <a href="greppa.html">Costumes and Party Goods</a>, <a href="grepga.html">Gardening</a>, <a href="grepg.html">Games</a>, <a href="grepo.html">Jewelry</a>, <a href="grepu.html">Movies/DVD's</a>, <a href="grepp.html">Auto Parts and Gear</a>, <a href="greppo.html">Posters</a>, <a href="greps.html">Shoes</a>, <a href="grepw.html">Women's Fashions</a>, Online.</h2> <p>If you click above and follow the links to a purchase then this site receives a commission for its support.</p> <p><img src="logo.gif" border="0" width="200" height="150" alt="Artemis bathes off Crete"/></p> </body> </html>
