Everything about The Stola totally explained
The
stola was the traditional garment of
Roman women, corresponding to the
toga that was worn by men. In ancient
Rome, it was considered disgraceful for a woman to wear a toga; wearing the male garment was associated with
prostitution.
The stola was a long, pleated
dress, worn over a
tunic (the
tunica intima, the Roman version of a
slip). A stola generally had long
sleeves (but not always; occasionally it was held up by straps), but the sleeves could either be a part of the stola itself, or part of the tunic. The stola was typically girt with
ribbons. It was frequently accompanied by a long
shawl-like garment called a
palla. Use of the stola continued through the
Byzantine period.
