Thank you very much ! I feel like the most difficult part in recreating ancient greek clothing is to source the right fabric. Thin drapy wools and nice linens are veeeeery hard to find today.
I’m planning a crochet project and couldn’t decide how I’m going to want to do my border, very helpful, I’m still not sure but I definitely have a better idea now
Thank you so much for this. I need really detailed references to understand how to design these clothes for art I'm working on and this is the first example I've scene that really helps me understand.
My himation is always falling off of my shoulder when I wear it, just like it looks like it is in your video. How did the ancient greeks keep it on while doing anything practical?
The ancient Greeks had pins!! They used pins and brooches and ties to secure a lot of their clothing They also had vaguely different ideas of modesty.. Also, Himations aren't really practical garmants, they're more for casual wear or traveling. For practicality, they wore chitons or exomises
I love how their society was very gender natural in sense of clothes. They may have had clothes that were mainly worn by one gender but doesn't mean you couldn't see the opposite gender wear it either. They were very flow and lose clothes and hair styles which is pretty cool
No lol women had to be covered up in public, especially married women; the rare times they were allowed in public they were to cover their hair with an epivlema. They had extremely strict gender roles that loosened only during the medieval days and it was shown via clothing.
It's so fascinating to me how these pattern for these pieces is basiclly just a rectangle, bu they all looks so regal on the body
best ancient greek clothing tutorial i've found. straightforword and concise. thank you so much!
This was the most helpful video that I came across for making my Persephone costume this year for Halloween. Thank you!
Me watching it now because I want to do an “authentic” Medusa costume for this halloween 😂
@@antonialoos546 same!
Same here @Anne Laun
I came to this video for the exact same reason! 🌸💀
I'm doing Penelope and in the same boat. Very cool ❤️

To be able to find a high quality wool with a nice drape! Ahhh
The peplos instructions were very helpful. I wasn't sure if I was going to sew all the way up or stop where I wanted the fold to start. Thanks.
I came across this video by chance and we both went to uccs and that totally surprised me! Awesome video.

Definitely the best vid I've seen describing the differences
Great demonstration! Concise and informative! Thanks!
It's amazing what they did with a simple piece of cloth, and you really demonstrated it in an equally amazing way!
Thank you
Thank you so much for the demonstration. I have heard these words used to refer to clothing but you really brought it to life!
thank you :)
Thanks! Helpful! Trying to accurately paint figures wearing chitons in a Greek mythological painting. Now I understand how the draped fabric was worn.
Very classy Ancient Rome and Greek empire drape. I inspire, I am going to create it. Thanks a lots.
Thank you for that!! Very interesting and I have wondered about these types of day to day clothing they wore in ancient times in Greece. ❤
Thank you so much for this. I need really detailed references to understand how to design these clothes for art I'm working on and this is the first example I've scene that really helps me understand.
Im doing a Greek day tommorrow at school and were required to wear chitons. This really helped a lot ☺️
such a great video! much appreciated
Thank you for these, they are beautiful drapings
This is great and I am going to show it to my students in a History of Fashion seminar I am teaching this semester! Thank you!
Thank you so much! I'm glad I can be a resource for the students!
You deserve all the likes
Thank you very much
Really nice video an good advice, thank you!
Peplos uses a narrower piece of fabric and a decorative straight pin to fasten.

Thank you. Concise and informative. Found volume of background music a little intrusive though, had to listen harder.
Thank you for the information
Thank you for the great demonstration! :) What would you say how long the fabric needs to be for the himation? Just roughly based on your size
Thank you!
How large of a piece of cloth would one use for a peplos?
So informative! Would a woman use a chiton over a peplos as like a cape/draping? Or is it its own thing?
@@davidplabeaux wow, thanks! will be trying these out
As far as I know, the peplos may go over the chiton, not the other way around
@@davidplabeaux I like how the greeks had very gender natural clothes. That could have been worn by both

@@DemetriosLevi Not to mention apparently only certain clothes were allowed to be worn by men, like togas
It's definitely pronounced KYE-ton. The "ch" is the same Greek sound as in chiropractor or chorus, not the French sound of Chicago or charades.
