How to make and tie a toga!

Important Advice:
Don't leave it to the last minute!
Don't use a bed sheet!

Contrary to popular opinion, sheets are not the best option mainly because they are more expensive than using a good quality piece of material.

Buy or find 4 or 5 yards of a good quality piece of material not necessarily white (see pics below), it takes about three feet to go around your waist, and you need to wrap it at least 1.5 times around your waist before you throw the remainder over your shoulder (either shoulder). Then bring the fabric back to the waist, and tie it up or wrap it some more or whatever. Women will (possibly) want to tie the fabric carefully to preserve modesty (or not) around the bustal region.

Fact: In ancient times they wore vest-like under-shirts underneath the toga wrap meaning bare shoulders were a myth.

Tie a toga: MALE
Around the waist at least once
Pin it at that point
Throw the rest over one shoulder
Around the back
Pin it again at the waist.
Wear shorts underneath
Wear sandals, thongs

Tie a toga: FEMALE
Add to the basic wrap design small horizontal bands (leather, chain) accentuating waist and bust line.

Tie a toga: ACCESSORIES!
A good looking toga is one with a sword, gold chains, amulets and jewellery.

Tie a toga: HEADWEAR
Make a LAUREL using a wire coat hanger, shape it into a circle (to fit on your head) Then attach plastic (or real) leaves and wrap it around the wire hanger.
