World's oldest dress is 5,000 years old
A linen dress discovered in an Egyptian tomb, dating back over 5,000 years, is known to be the world's oldest woven garment yet found. The garment, called Tarkhan dress, was originally discovered in 1913. The dress, which has a missing hemline, is made up of three pieces of hand-woven linen with knife-pleated sleeves and bodice.
