Clothes

Mongolian clothingduring the Great Mongolian Empire was a uniform

type of Mongol dress though variations according to wealth, status, and
gender did occur. These differences included the design, color, cut, and
elaborateness of the outfit.

The first layer consisted of a long, ankle length robe called a caftan.
Some caftans had a square collar but the majority overlapped in the front
to fasten under the arm creating a slanting collar.

The skirt of the caftan was sewn on separately, and sometimes ruffles
were added depending on the purpose and class of the person wearing it.

For women of higher rank, the overlapping collar of their caftan was
decorated with elaborate brocade and they wore full sleeves and a train
that servants had to carry.
