拜占庭风格

    拜占庭风格同时体现了希腊罗马以及东方的影响，将罗马的悬垂服装与东方的厚质丝绸、花缎、锦缎及金丝织物的豪华结合在一起。由于基督教的原因，此时人体被完全遮盖。无论男女都穿长袖直筒长袍。达官贵人外穿华丽的披风或“达尔马提克”，半圆形，很像罗马的托嘎。人前边缘有一块体现地位的纹饰。这是一长方形的装饰块，镶以珠宝和金线刺绣。
女忭在“丘尼卡”外面穿“斯多拉”或“帕拉”，将“帕拉”翻折可以用作主L篷。男女都用珠宝镶嵌的别针或夹子将披风固定在右肩上。


Byzantine style(300--1400AD)

Byzantine costume revealed both Greco-Roman and Oriental influence, combining Roman drapery with the gorgeousness of the East, in heavy silk, damasks, brocades and cloth of gold. Due to the Christian religion, the body was now entirely concealed. Both sexes wore a long, straight tunic with long sleeves. Men of quality draped themselves in a rich mantle or dalmatique, reminiscent of Roman toga, semicircular in shape. On the left front edge was placed the clavus, insignia of high dignitaries. It was a large decoration, rectangular in shape, fashioned of jewels and gold embroidery. Women wore over their tunic a stola or palla, using a fold of the palla as head covering. Men and women fastened their mantales on the right shoulder with a gorgeous jeweled fibula or clasp.
