Roman girls were not allowed to wear the stola (see below) until they were married. The tunic and the cloak were the main items worn by Roman girls. Girls wore a simple tunic (tunica) with a belt at the waist. When they went outside, they wore a second tunic that reached their feet. Girls wore cloaks which were used as protection from the weather was called a paludamentum and was fastened at the shoulder with a clasp, called a fibula. The cloaks often had head coverings attached to them.

Roman women wore a stola, the female equivalent of the toga. Most had short sleeves, but some had long sleeves. The tunic worn under the stola could have long sleeves. It was fastened around the shoulders by clasps. Two belts were worm. One below was the below the breasts, which created peats, and the other was around the waist. The stola of richer women could be elaborate and a limbus could be added to it. This was a piece of material with many pleats sown to the hem of the stola. It looked like another gown worn beneath the stola and created the look of many layers. This was a symbol of wealth.

The stola of poor women was a piece of material with holes for the head and the arms, tightened around the waist with a belt.

Women wore a longer tunic which was often knee-length. Over this the women wore a stola which was a full length from neck to ankle, high- waisted and fastened at the shoulders with clasps.
