I gave myself an Ancient Greek makeover! This video was so much fun to put together, from hand sewing the Ionic Greek Chiton to researching Ancient Greek hair and makeup to recreate a look, to accessorising the final ensemble. Thank you so much for watching and I hope you enjoyed watching the video as much as I enjoyed making it!
