Egypt is a
very warm country which means the Egyptians wore very few clothes. The fabric
that most of the cloths were made of was linen and sometimes they imported
silk, cotton, and wool.
Women wore long thin dresses, and at
festivities they wore head dresses and some head dresses had scented fat that
melted in the sun (this made them smell nice).
Both women and men shaved their heads
because the weather was to warm and then they wore wigs.
Men wore wrapped skirts that varied in
length depending on the time of year and the fashion of time.
Children did not wear any clothes until they
were about six years old and then they wore the same clothes as women and men.
Footwear: the Egyptians wore mostly sandals
or bare feet. The sandals where made from various sources- Papyrus and wood (bark),
and the richest wore gold sandals.
Makeup/Jewellery was common in Egypt and showed
wealth
