What did poor women wear in the roman times?

The Roman lower class generally (both men and women) wore a sleeveless blouse with skirt or a short sleeve "tunic" (a long shirt that almost reached the knees) with sandals. The waist was secured with cord. The most significant difference of dress between the lower class from the middle or upper classes would be cloth material, the courseness of the weave and decoration. The poorer you were the courser the weave, the cheaper the material and of course there would be no color, decorative trim or patterns. Wool (local) was much cheaper than linen (flax was expensive and cotton came primarily from Egypt) and the yarn was usually made at home as was the cord. The sandals of the poor were similar to flip-flops today, but with leather soles and cord foot bindings. Of course, there would be no head decoration or covering except something that may resemble a bag or rag. There were no pockets and belongings would be carried in a small leather or wool pouch. The ancients did wear briefs as under-wear and the poor probably wore a type of loin-cloth. Although on the Mediteranian Sea, winters in Rome could get cold, so an over-shirt or cape was a necessity. The city's poor (much like today) lived in small wooden and/or mud brick hovels on unwanted property that did not last the test of time. The homeless slept under the entryways of the colosseum, baths, circuses and other public buildings. When a municipal project was commisioned, the huts and sheds were cleared without notice or warning. The lower and middle classes lived in one room apartments in public or private buildings. Ancient Roman citizens were very class consious and dressed as fashionably as they could afford any time they were in public, even to go to market. Slaves also dressed up in public as their appearance reflected on their masters. Also understand that the poor were pushed to the back streets and alleyways, as wealthy Romans did not want to encounter them. Rome was very expensive to live in, so this was both a deterrent for the lower class, and a magnet for thieves, beggars and prostitutes. Public nudity in the streets was a punishable offense, (bare-chested workmen were OK), although the public baths were free, unisex and clothing optional. It is not clear if the poor were allowed in, but the "unclean" were turned away.

Why do you have to pre-wash items before you tie dye them?

Washing fabrics before tie dying helps to remove all chemical sizing that is added to fabrics during the manufacturing process. Removing the chemical sizing allows the dye to penetrate the fibers more easily and makes for a more even coloring of the material being dyed.
