Ancient Greek, Roman & Byzantine Costume (Dover Fashion and Costumes) Paperback – October 20, 2011
Purchase options and add-ons
Included are elaborate examples of Aegean costume, Doric and Ionic styles of dress for women, Greek and Roman armor, graceful and intricately arranged Roman togas, the tunica — roomy, wide-sleeved apparel; and the pallium, a cloak-like garment. Ornate vestments of the Eastern Orthodox Church and Byzantine costumes are carefully described and portrayed, as are styles of hairdressing, jewelry, and other decorative elements.
An excellent reference for the history classroom, the volume also includes instructions and flat patterns showing the cut of sample garments, making it easy for costume designers to reproduce period apparel. This book will be valuable as well to costume historians and art students interested in the development of representative art.

My only complaint is the formatting of the book. The pictures are numbered and arranged through the book in a way that follows no logic whatsoever. Most pages feature text describing images several pages away, and the numbering system for the pictures is so erratic that it gives no context at all. Most of the book I have had to flip around trying to just find the garment or motif being discussed.
Ms. Houston's material is well researched and more than worth the cost for the reenactor and reconstructionist alike. I simply hope it ends up in the hands of a better editor for any future printings
