Roman women wore a stola, the female equivalent of the toga. Most were 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 pleats, 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.
Stola were made of wool. Rich women could afford stolas made of silk spring and summer.

Where no cap or hood is worn, the hair clings closely to the head in a wavy compact mass, escaping however from below the wreath or diadem, which supplies the place of a cap, in one or two rows of crisp, rounded curls.
