The top part. The crinkled Ionic chiton was shaped
like the original garment, but made of even thinner material, almost
transparent, for the limbs could be seen through it. It was necessarily
thinner, as more material was required in its width.
It is seen on statues, the top part being crinkled in some way, in
zig-zag or wavy lines, to about the hip level, where it is turned under
and secured by an invisible waist-belt. It was fastened by buttons or
clasps, or sewn as described earlier, to form sleeves.

The skirt part was not crinkled, but, being very full, it hung in
many flat folds, which gave a zig-zag effect at the bottom edge.
