Doric Chiton

The later part of the 5th century also sees the return of the Peplos, now called the Doric Chiton. This fashion is wider than the Peplos and is usually of a lightweight fabric. It still has an Apotygma, the deep overfold and occasionally sleeves are formed. It can be worn closed on both sides or worn open on one full side. The open style is more closely associated with the women of Sparta.
