Kalasiris – old egyptian gown

I think there is a general lack of old egyptian costumes on DAZ 3D. When I saw the product “Fantasy Wrap for Genesis 3 Female(s)” (https://www.daz3d.com/fantasy-wrap-for-genesis-3-female-s) by Daz Originals, Mada and Sarsa, I instantly felt reminded that this could easily become a starting point for the old egyptian gown style called Kalasiris. Only beneath the breasts it would need to become a kind of sheath-like gown, other than the loose strips of “Fantasy Wrap for Genesis 3 Female(s)”. So maybe one of these artists might be so kind to produce a Kalasiris product????

There's an egyptian outfit a bit like that for SP3: http://www.daz3d.com/nefertari-for-stephanie-petite
It would be nice to see an updated version for newer figures.
Hi Leana,
you're absolutely right with your comment and your suggestion of the "Nefertari for Stephanie Petite". I have used that one already, but firstly, I feel it does not look very realistic (too plastic and doll like, no wrinkles, no bump and normal maps) and secondly, it also - as you indicated - does not conform good enough to newer figures. By the way, although the "Nefertari for Stephanie Petite" as such is not really convincing, it seems to be based on a real costume from ancient egypt, as can be seen on the last of my uploaded images.
So in general, I would like to see many many more old egyptian clothing styles on DAZ3D. For most of the ancient antetypes a real cloth simulation software is needed though as I have already experienced by myself. But since I am not good enough in sculpting and modeling, I wished some nifty other people would like to do that and earn some money with their products ...
Oh yes, i agree, there should be much more like this.
Combining it with http://www.mec4d.com Cleopatra outfit might work (warning: nudity at the Cleopatra page)
Oh hey, I didn't know Mec4D had a merchant site, thanks!
