Bieber told her audience that the peplos is the older form and is that which is molded on the statue of Athena. She described it as a large, rectangular piece of woolen material, opening at the right side, and held together.by pins on the shoulders which allow free movement of both arms. Slides showed that the top was folded down so that it hung in over-fold often down to the hips.

This might be draped over the head as a hood, covering the wearer, completely or else worn down with a girdle at the waist.
