The tunics were made out of linen and wool.The sandals were made out of leather for the rich and straw for the poor.The Greek women wore one big piece of linen or wool pinned in a couple places to keep the wool or linen on.The Greeks paid much attention to how they looked,They loved to look and smell good,They made their own perfume by cinnamon, basil, almonds, roses, lavender, and lilies.
