After reconstructing an ancient Greek / ancient Roman "bra" last year and conducting a preliminary experiment in the video where I wore ancient Greek fashion for 30 days, I've finally managed to experiment more in-depth with the strophion/strophium and tried wearing it was an entire week, each day in a new way to see which option is the most suitable for support, and also feasible for the historical period.

If you'd like to learn about some of the research behind the strophion, I'd suggest watching this video: youtu.be/KTb0kGlLYEo

And if you'd like to see me wearing ancient Greek fashion for 30 days, I'd suggest watching this video: youtu.be/R5BDyBvB2c4

This was a fun experiment to conduct!

Please note: bust binding may cause injury, so it is important to take precautions. I am not liable for any harm or damage caused.
