:[ I need someones help for my halloween Toga!?

Question

I have no idea to make one out of fabric cloth instead of those stupid sheets! And what should go with it? Braclets? Necklace? Flip Flops?

Answer 1

Basically there are two styles. A wrapping style and more of a dress. If you want to do the wrap, you'll need several yards. Wear shorts under b/c you will need something to pin it to.

Wrap 1 1/2 times around your waist. Pin it together. Then pull it up your back and over the opposite shoulder. Either take another piece of fabric and drape over the other shoulder--or widen so that is has a one shoulder wrap. I would wear a one shoulder tank underneath.

2nd style--more dress like. More advanced. Take a loose shirt and trace on the cloth with an extra inch on each side and about 1-2 ft extra on the bottom. Cut cloth. You should have 2 pieces of cloth that both look like a really long tshirt. Lay the fabric inside out--top piece facing the ceiling and bottom piece facing the floor being the side you want against your body. Using a very simple stitch, run down each side to connect the 2 pieces. Just the sides. Not the neck or bottom. Flip garmet back right side out. Tie the shoulders on the back and front together in a knot.

As for accessories--you can take another piece of fabric and drape it over a shoulder (or pin it to both shoulders cape like) in a color if you are emperor. Red or purple work best.

For women, frequently you would tie around your bust line to emphasize chest. Like this

Footwear can be anything you wish. Gold sandals would be best, but whether they wrap up your legs Roman style or not, is up to you.

For your head, a nice laurel wreath is always the choice. Go to an Arts and Crafts store. They usually have them.

Answer 2

just choose the fabric you want and make it around 6, 7, or 8 feet depending on your size. then wrap it around your shoulders and body. after your done with that, safety pin it or have someone sew it.

if you want to look Egyptian, where lots of gold jewelry and sandals.
