This volume is intended to serve as a guide to the identification of everyday Pharaonic Egyptian clothing. It discusses dated material from excavated sources, as well as giving the construction of typical pieces and an indication of how the ancient Egyptians saw these garments. The book deals with each garment type in a separate chapter and covers such items as cloth and leather loincloths; dresses; bag-tunics; and various types of headgear. "Pharaonic Egyptian Clothing" is illustrated with numerous line drawings, as well as illustrations depicting various surviving garments. There is a glossary which describes both the basic garment types and the sewing techniques which may be encountered.

excellent guide for the interested reader,

This review is from: Pharaonic Egyptian Clothing (Studies in Textile and Costume History, Vol 2) (Hardcover)
Written by a textile specialist, this is an excellent guide to Pharaonic Egyptian clothing. The book deals with the construction of items, based on surviving material (cloths, dresses, headgear, aprons, straps). Well illustrated in black and white, a glossary explains the terms found throughout the book, and a bibliography for further reading is also provided. Highly recommended for those with an interest in clothing and Ancient Egyptian society.
