Laura Perry said: The garments in this image are a fairly accurate rendition of the late palatial era women's clothing from Crete and Akrotiri. There was a tunic as the base layer, all one piece that was worn open on top. Over that was a wrap-around skirt that had several layers or flounces and was tied at the waist.
