...chiton and chlamys; the women in the encyclum, palla and chiton. In selecting the costume great attention has been paid to the harmonious grouping of colors. The aim has been to make the grouping as effective and beautiful, from an artistic point of view, as is possible. The colors shade from black through purple, garnet, orange, light blue, to creamy white and white.
