TIE a TOGA SHEET with EASE
Draping a toga sheet is quite easy and as you read the rest of the article, you will found out why. But before we start with the steps on how a toga sheet can be draped properly, let's look at the key elements and general tips for the outfit. You will require...

• Safety pins (at least 4-5)
• 1, 4 to 5 yards fabric (your choice of color)
• Accessories

The reason you will need at least 4 to 5 yards long fabric is because while draping the sheet, almost 3 feet of fabric will go around the waist for women. And as for men, they will need less fabric than women, because women need to tie the toga a bit tighter and cover up properly. As you see below, we have given you instructions on how to tie a toga sheet for both men and women. Take a look. * Click on the images for a better view.

Step 1 ~ First of all, make sure you are wearing something underneath the toga sheet. Fold the fabric into half and put it over your chest. Drape the fabric around the chest once and tuck it under the left/right arm (depending on what you're comfortable with). Step 2 ~ The next step will be to decide the length of the toga and adjust accordingly. Many women like to wear short toga dresses to flaunt their legs. Take the rest of the fabric and wrap it around the back. Step 3 ~ Bring it over your left/right shoulder. Tie a knot over the left/right shoulder where the two loose ends of the fabric meet. Use safety pins wherever needed.
