Every Late Republican bride should have a new stola for after the wedding, right? I made the pleated one because 1) it was the only stola type I hadn’t made, and 2) it’s the only non-rectangular, non-dead-easy garment the Romans wore, aside from the toga, in my period.  And of course I needed something complicated to add to my spreadsheet of Things To Do. LOL

I probably could have made my pleats smaller, but I am ok with them as is. They are just more like the ones worn by the male actor (above right, Terra cotta, Naples National Archeological Museum, from Pompeii) than the female statue (above left). Left, Palazzo Massimo alle terme.

 I also have a white linen tunica recta to wear under it. See you at Egils!
