How to Make a Toga
The first step in making a toga is to get the cloth for it. Your local fabric store is the best source for this product.
At this point, you need to determine how much cloth you need. This depends on your height and the amount of draping you want the toga to have. If you are short and you want your toga to be tight, get about 4 to 5 yards of fabric. If you are tall, or if you want your toga to have a lot of draping, get about 6 yards of fabric.
Preparing the toga is the next step. Fold the cloth over at its seams. Then stitch the folded cloth together. This will prevent your toga from being easily damaged even with heavy use.
You are now ready to make your toga. Wrap the cloth around your body at least one and a half times. Then, throw the remaining cloth over your shoulder. Next, bring the cloth again to the back of your body. Using a safety pin, clip the cloth at the back. The toga should drape properly over your front.
The bottom of the cloth surrounding your midsection has to be located between your knees and ankles. For a tighter fit, you can use a thin strip of cloth or a belt to tie the toga close to your body.
Under your toga, you can wear anything. Undergarments are the most common choice of most individuals. Finally, to enhance the appearance of your toga, you can place clips and pins on it and wear fancy Roman jewelry to go with it.
