Clothes were decorated with jewels, regardless of social standing. Those who could not afford jewels would use coloured stones or coloured pottery beads.
Women wore lots of jewellery - necklaces, earrings, rings, bracelets & neck collars.
Egyptians did not wear shoes, they mostly went about their day bare footed. However, they did wear sandals on special occasions.
I have used a soft baby wool for the dress & cape. This seems to fit well to the body. I have used Gutermann Metalic Thread for the collar, head piece, waist sash & bracelets.
I have used Sirdar Snuggly DK, Hayfield Bonus DK & Anchor Artiste Metallic Thread -Gold &
Red - this knits as 3ply wool.
