Egypt - The People

Hi all

I had promised that I would make things for all Egyptians in your game… and that not only includes all ages but also all kinds of clothing.

As people don’t spend all their time in tiaras (not even queens) Egyptians didn’t spend all their time in gala outfits – not even Pharaohs …that would make hunting quite difficult LOL..

So, this set manages the two things: you get clothes for just about everybody in the household and you get normal, everyday clothes.
Ok, I admit: although we imagine Egyptian society as very glamorous and colourful, the truth is the clothes were very monotonous in their colouring, especially until the Ptolemaic period (think Cleopatra) when the influence of Rome and the textiles from other regions made dressing up more fun,

They dressed mainly in linen from flax, and a loincloth or simple tunic was the everyday outfit of the “normal” Egyptian. Slaves usually worked naked. Whether you were rich or poor you wore jewellery made of gold or colourful beads and both men and women made up their eyes and lips
Just as a curiosity: the kohl, used in the eyes, had more than esthetical value: it prevented sweat from dripping into the eyes and there was even a time when workers when on strike because there were not given their weekly supply

Sorry it's not as elaborate as the others...but that's Egypcian daily clothes...

I guess that concludes the wardrobe. If you're looking for underware, please visit my Yahoo Group http://groups.yahoo.com/group/AlexSims2_Skins
