The Egyptians used to
wear white clothes made out of linen and cotton, this was necessary because
Egypt has really hot climates. Women used to wear full straight dresses and
while men used to wear a skirt and sometimes also a shirt. Most clothes were
only affordable by the wealthy people, because that time the fabric was a bit
expensive. As years were passed, they started to decorate their dresses with
beads to look more appealing because they didn't know about colour dye. There didn't stitch a lot in their clothing because they used to hold everything with
a belt.
Many artists
are all getting inspired again from the fashion they used to have. You can see how artists these days manage to
keep the style while make them look modern.
These clothes look more alive with the colours added to the design but
the artists still keep the lines and patterns in the clothes.
