The stola was the traditional garment of Roman women, corresponding to the toga, or the pallium, that were worn by men.
Originally, women wore togas as well, but after the 2nd century BC, the toga was worn exclusively by men, and women were expected to wear the stola. At that point in time, it was considered disgraceful for a woman to wear a toga; wearing the male garment was associated with prostitution.
