Stola—The Roman matron’s dress. Clothing historians disagree about what made the stola different from other dresses. Ours is a classic wide rectangular style that can be single- or double-belted. Depending on your preference, it can be closed along the top seam, except for the slit neck, or caught at intervals with decorative pins or buttons. 

Starting at $30 for cotton. For added authenticity we recommend a linen-rayon blend that looks and moves like pure linen, starting at $55.  Pure linen sometimes available.
