Simple Ancient Egyptian Woman's Sheath Dress


It was quite fun, trying to figure out how Ancient Egyptian women might have produced form fitting linen sheaths with the technology they had a the time.  Clothing that would be cool and comfortable and easy to move in, despite a body hugging fit.


I took a length of white plain weave one and a halt times the width of the body and put ties on each top end one vertical and one horizontal.




The end result, is simple, elegant and appropriate for the hot weather and active culture of the Ancient Egyptians.
