  Fashions of Romans did not change much over the time & centuries, but they did changed regionally.   for example, children wear small types of adult clothing.
        Toga was the basic garments for the male citizens, originally worn alone but later donned draped over a tunic.  It was an highly expensive, fine piece of fabric of good white wool.  It required periodic cleaning. It was approximately 16 feet broad and 8 feet deep.  It was worn in a complicated manner over a body.

The oldest representations of togas date toward the later republic and show the toga a short & simple version of the roman clothing. At the end of the republic, the style became more complex, not helping the sinus (cloth falling from the left shoulder to the right thigh, utilized as a pocket or brought up over the right shoulder as a sling) and the umbo (a projecting mass of folds in front of the body able to pulled up over the head to form a hood.)

Different types of togas were worn by different people at different social rank.
Here are some romans catlog:

    * Toga Pulla:  Made of pure black wool and worn in funerals.
    * Toga Virilis:  The plain toga of a typical citizens.  Worn by boys after the age of 15 or 16.
    * Toga Picta:  A crimson toga embroidered with gold, donned by victorious generals in triumphal processions and the emperors.
    * Toga  Candida:   A toga given a shiny, glossy & sleek look by rubbing it with chalk, worn by people going for public office.
    * Toga Praetexta:   Identified by a purple stripe, worn by curule magistrates as well as boys until the age of 15 or 16.

Roman Ladies plus size clothing.
     Women also wore togas like the men, but later this practice was confined for women of no repute and prostitutes.  Thatswhy, women wore tunics.  Married women wore a stola over the tunic, a big, simple dress gathered up by a high belt with a colorfull border around the neck region.  It could also gathered at the shoulder with a brooch, and was considered the main formal garments in a Roman woman fashion.

Wealthy womens wore cloths of good colors and fine materials, such as silks,muslin,etc.  In Some areas it is also seen that women wearing close fitting bonnets and hair nets.  Women also wore a pallu, a long shawl made of woolen objects for outdoor.

As fair as their hair goes, women could do anything!  Hair could be dyed golden red or black.  the hairdresser could skillfully use a curling iron for ringlets and crude scissors.  She could also use oils and tonics to hurry growth and add both softness and luster.

In terms of makeup, a woman's face powder was a mixture of powdered chalk and white lead.  Rouge for cheeks and lips was acher or the lees of wine.  Eyebrows and eyelashes were blackened with ashes or powdered antimony, and teeth glistened with enamel.   A lady chose her jewels, a diadem of precious stones for the hair, earrings, at least one necklace, rings for her fingers, bracelets for her wrists, and circlets for her ankles.

Bandhej

Traditional wear, Saree, Bandhej, Tie & Die.

Also called as Tie & Die,it is one of the most widely used,accepted and traditional style of machine printing in India. This technique is originated from Rajasthan and Gujarat(states of Royal's). The colors that are traditionally used in this process are vibrant with yellow, black, red, maroon and green being the more stylish and predominant ones. This technique is used with lighter shades of browns, turquoise, blue and pink giving a stunning effect and create a good fashionable impression.

Though simple, tie & die is quite time consuming and tedious process because after machine work completed some hand work also done in a process. A single piece of cloth, with intricate bandhej design, takes more than a week to prepare in order to make it wearable. In this process, each section is carefully dipped into paint and tied again to bring yet another contrast in color. Usually the women are assigned to the fine craft of tying while the men prepare the dye.

Elaborate bandhej patterns depicting birds, animals and human figures are made through this long process. The tie and dye (bandhej) work is done on sars, salwar suits, kurtas and dress materials.

On the basis of design and motif, different patterns have their different and special significance. The chandokhni and chikhara are specially designed for brides in merrages and are quite expensive. The barah baag is a pattern, which is when opened looks like a garden of flower. Earlier, there was a design called bavan baag, but today, no one makes it as it takes too much time and labor.

Western and Indian

Western outfits, Traditional outfits, outfits.

For lots of  years, Western designers and global brands like Denim, Gucci, Provogue, Armani, etc have  used Indian craftsmanship, culture and history as  an inspiration for fashion and they really ruled on market, now also they are rulling. From intricate embroidery this season on Marchesa's "Raj and in Charge" dresses for Spring/Summer 2008 to khaki's from Gap, Ralph Lauren and Abercrombie and Fitch that have outfitted generations of Americans, India's influence on global fashion goes all the way from the high-street to the high-end.
Today, India's known dress designer Bandana Tewari, Fashion Features Editor of Vogue India , graciously published an image of the first cover for the newest magazine in Vogue's stable of global fashion magazines, which now number 17 in total it really a good work. From Japan to France to Mexico to Switzerland, Vogue has been the undisputed arbiter of fashion and culture for over 100 years, since its launch in 1892 as a society magazine.
For its Indian debut, Patrick Demarchelier snared Gemma Ward to pose with Indian beauties Bipasha Basu, Priyanka Chopra, Monikangana Dutta, Preity Zinta and Laxmi Menon the Bollywood actresses. The magazine includes contributions from some of Vogue's internationally known contributors including Lucinda Chambers of British Vogue who styled the cover and editorial featuring Gemma Ward. The first issue is being feted tomorrow evening at a launch party at the immense Umaid Bhawan Palace in the Rajasthani city of Jodhpur.
The timing of the launch is no accident. With a long tradition of luxury in India and an estimated $500m domestic luxury market, global brands will now be eager to advertise their wares to India's growing middle class.
Congratulations to Editor Priya Tanna, Bandana and the rest of the team on a phenomenal first issue. Now that Indian fashion has officially arrived, I am looking forward to seeing and hearing the intelligent editorial and images that will communicate the latest in Indian fashion and culture -- not only to India, but to the world.  Finally, India will get credit for its rich history and creative contributions to global fashion. It's long overdue.
