Minoan dress was one of four styles that led to the development of Greek costume. It has also influenced the clothes in the coastal regions of the Black Sea, Eastern Mediterranean and parts of Inner Asia. It is accepted that the concept coupe appeared here Minoans were the first to wear fitted clothes. The hat also from Crete. Unfortunately, none of the clothing samples have survived Crete temperate climate shock. What we know of Minoan art has come. The evolution of the Cretan costume during different periods of the civilizations of Crete and the Aegean Sea is well documented, but can never reveal exactly what was worn.

Women's Clothing

In the early stages of civilization in Crete, while women wore loincloths, common to both sexes, but arranged in a skirt. In the eighteenth century BC, women's clothing included a decorated skirt, a blouse, a garment or a long coat or a short cape and a headdress.

As the skirt changed, it became more complex and flowers. Born in the size and reach the ground, he was belted and fitted tightly around the hips. The oldest model, Minoan III (2400-2100 BC) was bell-shaped, made of striped canvas wide. Its scale is supported on horizontal hoops that have helped to harden the garment. Shuttlecock, narrow strips of material reasons, fell on each other to form a checkerboard pattern of blue cloth, brown and beige. A fresco from Hagia Triada shows a woman wearing a skirt in which two rows of ruffles of white cloth, red and brown rectangles and red and white bindings were sewn on a skirt with a white pattern and the red cross.

Figures show that Palaikastro stiff skirts fashion persisted in provincial towns until the early sixteenth century BC.

The bodice has evolved a way of wrapping a shawl around the rigid body, then encircling the waist, leaving her breasts completely or almost completely exposed. At the end of Middle Minoan (1580 BC), the corsage, which was open in front to the waist, stood up behind the neck in a necklace of Medici. From the eighteenth century, the neck has disappeared. The turning, however, remained, for the stomacher was just below the breasts.

Forearms were bare universally. The sleeves are tight, puffed or "leg-of-mutton" style. They were kept in place by ribbons tied at the neck or shoulder straps crossed in back.

The corset has been one of the most amazing clothes. It was formed by a framework of metal plates, which involves the use of copper. The technology was new and unknown to the people of the Neolithic. The corset made the skirt flat on the hips and accentuated the sharpness of the size and prominence of bare breasts.

The waist was sought mainly by women but by men. It is often accentuated by a belt. Women in the Middle Minoan Crete I finished twice the belt around the waist, leaving the ends to fall at the foot of the skirt. Another type of belt, two rollers, but without tabs, remained in vogue for a long period and it was found earthenware votive objects. A simpler style consists of a single roll.

The apron worn on top of the skirt are from Spain primitive common to all prehistoric peoples of the Paleolithic and Neolithic, which may have been ritually preserved in religious garb.

Minoan dress has become the most developed between 1700 and 1500 BC, it was a superb example of luxury and elegance. Vivid colors and rich fabrics characterized wardrobe of Crete, which includes dress, apron tops, skirts, pants type, and many styles of hats. After the Mycenaean invasion in 1450, women have taken on color and shape Minoan Mycenaean fantasy, and they ended up in Greek style.
