Women wore a skirt kept in place by a sash or they would wear a sleeveless tunic along with a cloak, while men wore a loin cloth and a cloak. Until the age of 3, boys wouldn't wear anything but a cape, and girls would only wear a blouse like her mothers. At the age of 4, their clothing was similar to the adults.
