How to Make a Toga?

Answer 1

Go to Target or Walmart (or some place like that) and buy a full sized plain white sheet. You could buy it in a color, but if you want it to look authentic, it really should be white. Wash the sheets before you use them. First you want to cut a sheet into three even pieces, lengthwise. After this, you are going to lay them out side by side, preparing for the tying. Cut the pieces to the length at which you want them to be. Then, take the first two pieces of the sheet and tie them at one corner, and shove it up your butt.

Answer 2

Here are some step-by-step directions:

1. Take the corner of the top sheet in one hand - you should leave 6-8 inches (15-20 cm) to spare for tying a knot later
2. Drape the sheet snugly across your chest and tuck it under your other arm (the one not holding the end of the sheet)
3. If it is too long, stop and fold the top edge over about 6 inches, take the corner again, and keep trying until you get the right length - then do steps 1 and 2 again
4. Wrap the toga around your back and tuck it under the arm holding the corner, so it goes around to the front of your body
5. Bring the sheet across your chest and under your other arm once more
6. Bring the second corner up across your back to the shoulder on the side where you are holding the corner of the sheet
7. You can fasten the two corners with a brooch, a safety-pin, or just tie a knot. You should have it fastened on your shoulder now
8. Make sure the sides of the toga are firm and snug - you can use safety-pins so they don't slip

How To Make A Toga

A toga is clothing that people wore in ancient Rome. Original togas were about 20 feet long, made out of wool, and people wrapped them around their bodies, usually with a linen tunic underneath. Originally, both women and men wore togas; however, after some time only men wore them.

The Meaning Of Togas

Since soldiers did not wear togas, people thought of them as a symbol of peace and rank. Typically only men of high status such as magistrates wore them. There were other people who wore them too, however, and there were even different togas for different occasions. Today, people usually wear togas only during toga parties. For those people, who would like to make their own toga for such a party, this article may help.

How To Make A Basic Toga

First of all, people will need to gather together some scissors, about 2 or 3 yards of material and a few safety pins. Since togas are nothing more than a length of material wrapped around the body a few times, they are quite easy to make. Although ancient Romans wore togas that were 20 feet in length, a piece of material about 4 to 6 feet is sufficient. People should fold the material in half, and using one of the safety pins, they need to fasten it around their waist. The toga should reach the knees. Now they need to wrap the material around their waste again and fasten it again. Finally, they need to wrap the remaining material over a shoulder and drape it down to the waist, fastening it one last time.

It is essential to note that people wear a tunic and/or shorts under the toga. Accessories For Decorating Togas

In some cases, women may want to wear a belt or band around their waist or below their breasts to accessorize the toga. Men and women, both, may also choose to wear such things as an imitation sword, large jewelry or sandals. Some people even wear Roman laurels on their heads by taking a wire coat hanger, shaping it into a circle and decorating it with leaves.
