Paintings of Greek style clothing?

I'm designing clothes for a fashion show and I need photos to play behind the models that 'captures' my inspiration. my inspiration was ancient Grecian style clothing. Does anyone know any websites that show paintings of women in grecian style clothing? I know, it's a pretty specific question, but I've been Googling my butt off and I can't really find what I'm looking for. I just want paintings of a kind of drapey clothing or flowers in the hair or something.



Greatly appreciated!

You can do a search of images of Pompeii. They are Roman, but close enough. You could also google "Ancient Greek Women"
