Things You'll Need
Instructions
1Acquire a lot of white fabric. A proper toga takes about 6 yards of fabric. If you're broke or in a hurry, get two white single bed sheets, attach the short ends together either by sewing or by using a white duct tape, and fold in half lengthways. Or, buy 12 yards of white fabric, cut it into two 6-yard pieces, and sew the long edges together.
2
Wear something under your toga. Whether it's jeans, shorts and/or an extra-long T-shirt, make sure you have some clothing that will cover your embarrassing bits if the toga decides---against all precautions---to fall off.
3
Drape your toga. Start with one corner of your folded fabric near the front of your left ankle. Have your assistant drape the fabric up to your left shoulder, down to your right hip, and then across your front to your left shoulder again. Your left arm will hold the "drape" and your right arm will basically be bare.
4
Pin the toga in place. Although the ancient Romans generally didn't pin their togas, you and your assistant may want to pin yours in place (like to the underclothes previously mentioned), especially if dancing is in your immediate future.
