How to Make a Toga out of a Bedsheet?
Toga is a gown, principal garment worn on official occasions by Roman citizens. Toga is derived by Varro from tegere, because it covered the whole body. Different coloured stripes indicated some a particular government office or position of respect. It consisted of a long sash of cloth, on the order of perhaps twenty feet (6 meters) in length. This sash was wrapped around the body in a particular way and was generally worn over a tunic.
Perfect for parties, these Toga costumes (Women and man Toga costumes) feature Roman togas for both men and women to make you look like a Roman or Greek god or goddess. Toga parties are fun during the summer months. It is not difficult to put together one and only takes a week or so to prepare the Toga decorations. There is a special Toga food.

For those of you who have never bought fabric, you control how much length you buy, the width is a standard width that all fabric seems to come in which is about five feet wide, roughly.
How To Tie a Toga and Instructions on How to Make a Toga
Materials needed: twin bed sheet and four safety pins.
Purchase 4 or 5 yards of a fine quality piece of material (of any color but mostly white is used), it takes about 3 feet to cover around your waist, and you need to wrap it at least 1.5 times over your waist before you throw the remaining on your shoulder. Then bring the material back to the waist, and tie it up or wrap it some more or whatever. Women will want to tie the fabric carefully to preserve modesty around the bust area.
Secure the layers tightly. Use a couple of hidden safety pins inside the toga. Try to make sure they aren't in an uncomfortable position, or during the party they might come loose. Make sure to wear some shorts underneath
Men need less coverage and the toga should only be about knee length or slightly longer. You can wrap yours in the same way but a little looser no need for safety pins.
