When I'm in doubt about someone's meaning on Answers, I generally try to say their question aloud. I'm guessing you mean "clothes from 1784 from Greece." Am I brilliant or what?!

Amazon shows a book, Ancient Greek Costumer: An Annotated Bibliography,1784-2005 (Paperback) by Linda Jones Roccos
List Price: $39.95
Costume production distinguishes early civilization from the Paleolithic era as much as architectural production. Costume transcends boundaries, as it first unites and then divides mankind. The mode of dress differentiates friend from foe and peasant from prince. Changes in the appearance and types of garments through the ages are a significant indicator of social, economic and chronological changes.
This annotated bibliography of 603 references, taken from monographs, dissertations, festschrifts, periodicals, encyclopedias and handbooks, is the most comprehensive research tool for the subject of ancient Greek costume. This subject is of increasing interest to scholars in many fields, including archaeology and anthropology, art and art history, classics, drama, history, ancient literature, even modern literature. The references in this bibliography range from the encyclopedia entry to the monograph, and show a variety of themes: women’s dress, men’s dress, foreign dress, accessories, jewelry, headdresses, theater dress, textile production and literary evidence. Associate professor Linda Jones Roccos is a reference and instruction librarian and the coordinator of electronic resources at the College of Staten Island Library, City University of New York.

William Mitford's History of Greece may have something useful as well.

What the hell is that supposed to mean? If you want a serious answer, be considerate enough to pose a clear question, or go back to Kindergarten.
