Here are few instructions that will help you to make a female toga perfectly.

Things Needed

A piece of fabric
Safety pins
Something to wear underneath
A rope or piece of fabric to be used as belt

Steps

You need a piece of fabric, approximately 4.5 by 1.5 meters. Opt for off white or cream clothing if you have a warm skin tone and bright white fabric for rosy complexion. However, if you plan to make your toga more expressive, then you may try bold colors too, provided it matches with the theme of the party. Authentic Roman clothing or some interesting leopard print toga will be a good option if you want to go for something more interesting.
Once you finalize your clothing, learn to tie it properly. Hold the fabric at one side of your waist, leaving the entire length to be wrapped around you horizontally. Now carefully fold it over such that the crease is in line with the waistband. Make sure that the longer part of the fold hangs down to your ankles. Now pin up the corner with a safety pin to the waistband of your undergarment.
After you pin up the one corner of the fabric to the waistband, wrap the fabric around you. Make sure that you wrap yourself somewhat snugly but not very tightly as it may become uncomfortable and you may find it difficult to move. Now pin the cloth on either side as many times as required but make sure that the final horizontal wrap is properly pinned because that is the most important fold.
Now throw the rest of the fabric over your shoulder, and around your back. Pin up the end of the fabric to your waist. Use a stylish belt over the toga to give it a perfect look.
Do not forget your Roman clothing accessories. Go for sandals that will complement your toga costume. You can also try out a laurel wreath for your head to give a complete look.
