There are a bunch of useful sources available about ancient Greek fashion, but I picked these three to start with. YOU might use many more sources, especially if they are short!
1. Department of Greek and Roman Art. "Ancient Greek Dress." Heilbrunn Timeline of Art History. October 2003. The Metropolitan Museum of Art. Web 27 March 2014. <http://www.metmuseum.org/toah/hd/grdr/hd_grdr.htm>.
I think this source is useful because it focuses specifically on my topic, and provides a lot of visual images of artifacts. This source is trustworthy because it is the Metropolitan Museum of Art, a museum I have visited and know to be incredibly respected internationally. The purpose of a museum is to preserve the past and to teach visitors about art, so I know that their information will not be biased.
2. Carr, Karen. "Ancient Greek Clothing." - Ancient Greece for Kids! 2014. Portland State University. Web 29 March 2014. <http://www.historyforkids.org/learn/greeks/clothing/>.
At first, I wasn't sure about this source because the website does not look very professional. Then, I scrolled to the bottom and saw that it was written by a university professor. University professors are usually trustworthy because they have to spend years getting a PhD and their lives researching the topic.
3. Houston, Mary. Ancient Greek, Roman, and Byzantine Costume. London: Dover Publication, 2011. Print.
I included this source because it is a BOOK and that was required. This book was published by a legitimate publisher and it contains a bunch of info about my topic so I think it's a trustworthy and useful source.
