For one thing, there was not enough pure silk to go around at first. And, anyway, it was not sexy enough for those freewheeling days. So, they unraveled the close-woven Chinese fabric and rewove it into a flimsy gauze which left little to the imagination. So unlike Chinese silk was this Roman adaptation that the Chinese, when they eventually saw it, named it "ling," assuming that Rome was growing a special product of its own. Slide7

Pliny told of garments that "render women naked." Other writers waggishly referred to clothes "made of glass." [Robert Collen 's book, East to Cathay: The Silk Road (pp. 44-46)]Slide8
