Cloak Patterns
Roman GarbWomen would wear several layers of garments. The bottom layer was a tunica. Over that, married women wore a stola and a palla. Several web sites suggest that a sleeved tunic could be worn under a tunica or peplos on unmarried (or less than high class) women. Men wore a tunica and a toga.
