proclaims, “Linen was a very
practical fabric and was a strong
easily washed and was cool to Wear
in the hot climate.” Linen was also
made from flax which was a plant
that takes about a hundred days to
grow from seed to mature. The flax
plants were gathered in whole when
they were in bloom as better fiber
could be produced from young
plants. As the author of flax and linen

flax of Egypt though the least strong
of all tissue is that from which the

As mentioned earlier, Ancient
Egyptians made their clothing in
different ways and for some
wonderful

Egyptians
formed clothing due their procedures
of creating them, their vogues and
their components. Some people may
think that clothing and fashion is all
about looking fabulous for example
“Me” but by reading this essay, we
have leant that our perspective on
clothing nowadays is different from
Ancient Egypt. Have you changed
your belief of clothing now? If you
have, what is it?
