How The Egyptians Made There Clouth's
Clothing in ancient Egypt was almost always linen which is made from flax. Clothes were made of linen because flax was the only plant growing in Egypt that was used for clothing. The actual weaving of linen fabric was done on a loom, usually by women. Dressmaking were actually the only areas of the economy that remained in female hands. White linen needed constant washing please u wont see me wering white all the time. They washed there clouths in the river or canal, rinsed, then pounded on a stone, and, bleached in the sun i think they did not invent the washer and dryer yet. Linen clothes needed to be repleated every time they were washed. Important Egyptians were often wore pleated skirts. Only high status had pleated clothes because the pleating process involved so much labor. Pleating pressing the linen into a wooden board and letting it dry.
