The stola is the distinctive garment of a married Roman woman, as only a married woman was permitted to wear it. Stola's are sleeveless dresses, usually held on by straps worn over the shoulders. A tunica is always worn under this as an undergarment. Apparently the Stola was pleated vertically and pinned or buttoned along the top edge. It should be quite wide, and long enough to cover the tunica even when belted up. There can be one belt at the waist, with the fabric bloused over it, or a second belt under the bust as well.
