Clothing

The civilization in mesopotamia called Babylonian some men would wear loin skirts with a hemline that slanted from the upper knee in the front to the calf in the back. One painting discovered shows a king wearing a skirt with tiered fringe that is alternately colored red, gray, gold, and white. There isn's any evidence that the girls changed from what they wear in the Sumerians. Then there was also a civilization called Assyrains Both men and women wrapped fringed shawls over their shoulders and around their waists to cover themselves from their shoulders to nearly their ankles. These were held in place by belts. Around 1000 B.C.E. Assyrian men began wearing belted knee-length tunics with short sleeves. Men of high status, such as kings and military officers, also wore woolen cloaks dyed blue, red, purple, or white. ( Nemet-Nejat, Karen Rhea. Daily Life in Ancient Mesopotamia.

 * The people of Mesopotamia did'nt only make clothing to wear, then made then to trade and they would also use the clothing as presents for the king and queen. Wool was the main mateial that they would use, they used it for everything from cloaks to shoes. One of the luxurious fabrics was linen, it was woven for the clothing of the weathly, priests, and to aborn statuses of gods. A lot of other finely woven fabrics were also available for the wealthy. **
 * They didn't have much chose for what colour of clothing they wanted, instead they would use beads to add colour to the peice of cothing. They had the chose to use a shell called Maoris that produced a highly-prized dye called Tyrian purple **
 * The civilization's in mesopotamia called Sumerian men normally wore small loinclothes or waist strings that would provied very little coverage, but soon after the wraparound skirt was introduced, these skirts hung to the knee or lower and was held up by a thick belt that was a rounded belt that would be tied in the back. The skirt were normally decorated with frindge or peices of fabric cut in a petal shape. The women would wear seem to have worn only a shawl wrapped around their bodies. These shawls were often decorated with simple border patterns or allover patterns. Later Sumerian women typically wore sewn outfits covered with tiers of fringe. These included skirts much like those worn by men and shawls or tops that were also fringed. By the end of Sumerian rule around 2000 B.C.E. both men and women wore skirts and shawls. **
