The chiton was worn by men and women and could be long or short.

Chiton of modern make. Handkerchief weight Linen

To make a chiton:

1. For a long chiton, the length of the material has to be the same as your height. When you fold it in half it should reach from finger-tip to finger-tip.

2.Sew along the side seam. Join the top edge at intervals with safety-pins or brooches, or by sewing. Don't forget to leave holes for your head and arms to go through. Slip it on over your head.

3.Tie a belt round your waist and pull up the extra material so that it hangs over the belt.
