How to Make a Toga Showing The Back

Made of a wool-like fabric, the toga was a distinctive clothing garment that was used during the Roman Empire. The toga is worn around the waist and across the shoulder, displaying portions of the user's back. Today, togas may be worn during theater plays or as Halloween costumes. Using a simple bed sheet, an individual can make a toga that shows his back -- similar to how it would have looked in Ancient Rome.

Difficulty:Easy1

Hold the bed sheet horizontally and wrap it around your body at about waist level two times.

2

Place a safety pin at the point where the toga meets on your waist. You can also place an additional safety pin in that location to make it more secure.

3

Place the additional fabric over either shoulder and use the remaining safety pins to attach the fabric over your shoulder to the fabric that is wrapped around your waist.

4

Adjust the toga according to your preferences. Some individuals would like to have the toga tight while others can loosen the fabric for a toga that is not as restrictive.

The "over the shoulder" toga will show portions of the user's back. You can also create a toga that will show off your entire back by simply wrapping the fabric around your waist multiple times and using the safety pin to hold it into place.
