Sumerian Clothing and Modern Designs


September 15th, 2008 by admin


The making of Sumerian clothing involved a number of designs and motifs on their clothes and around their homes which are still used in sewing! Step motifs, honeycomb pine comb, concentric circles and animal prints were some of their popular motifs. They wee also the first to wear tassels and fringes on their clothes.

Women wore a rectangular piece of fabric with attractive patterns. This had a fringe along one edge and was wound around the body; this clothing was adorned for thousands of years by both men and women.

Modern designers have adapted the Sumerian ancient clothing impressively. Fringes, tassels and motifs have been reproduced on evening gowns successfully. People would do anything to steal a good Sumerian coat ignoring the death penalty it invited! We thankfully don’t have to go to such extremes to own a beautiful garment done in Sumerian tastes! Increasingly fashion shows around the globe are showcasing designs, styles and motifs from our ancestral wardrobes.
