  • Clothes were expensive and in the hot Egyptian climate people often wore as little as possible. If we are to believe the depictions, at parties servants and slave girls wore little more than skimpy panties and jewellery [7], though one may assume that the reason for this undress was not a lack of funds. Working women mostly dressed in a short kind of kalasiris. Men doing physical labour wore a loin cloth, wide galabiyeh-like robes or, if they were working in the water, nothing at all. Children usually ran around nude during the summer months, and wore wraps and cloaks in winter when temperatures might fall below 10°C.     The gods had to be dressed as well. This was th

  • Very little sewing was done. The cloth was wrapped round the body and held in place by a belt
  • when some dresses of upper class Egyptians were pleated horizontally
  • Old Kingdom
  • New Kingdom the pleats were often vertical, but pleating could be quite intricate.
  • Middle Kingdom piece of clothing displays three different types of pleating: one part is pleated with pleats a few centimetres apart, another with very narrow pleats and a third part is chevron-patterned, with horizontal and vertical pleats crossing each other
  • The robes worn by both sexes
  • The kalasiris women wore might cover one [3] or both shoulders or be worn with shoulder straps
  • called kalasiri
  • the top could reach anywhere from below the breast up to the neck, the bottom hem generally touched the calves or even the ankles.
  • short sleeves, others were sleeveless
  • The length of the the kilts varied, being short during the the Old Kingdom and reaching the calf in the Middle Kingdom, when it was often supplemented with a sleeveless shirt or a long robe
  • fit might be very tight or quite loose
  • often worn with a belt
  • Women's dresses were at times ornamented with beads
  • Circular capes date back as far as the Old Kingdom. They were generally made of linen and had an opening for the head cut at the centre. They were often dyed, painted or otherwise decorated and covered little more than the shoulders
  • then ordinary Egyptians did not wear any headdress as a rule,
  • The better-off put on wigs - perhaps just on special occasions
  • The pharaohs are always represented wearing crowns
  • The Egyptians went barefoot much of the time, but wore sandals on special occasions [8] or when their feet were likely to get hurt.
  • sandals were tied with two thongs and, if they had a pointed tip this was often turned upwards. They were made of leather [17] or rush [12] woven or stitched together, and often had leather soles and straps.
  • The kings wore at times very elaborately decorated sandals, and sometimes decorative gloves as well, but generally they were depicted barefoot, as were the gods.
  • Sandals made of gold have been found which cannot have been very comfortable to their wearers if they were worn at all. Among Tutankhamen's equipment there were 93 pieces of footwear. There were sandals made of wood with depictions of enemies on their soles, on which the king would tread with every step and another pair which was fastened with buttons.
  • Sandals seem to have had an importance which mostly escapes us nowadays, symbolizing prosperity and authority.
