So, let us get to the method of making a toga costume at home-the efficient and easy way! The process of making a toga costume is as given below:

Visit a fabric store and purchase a continuous sheet of long fabric from there. Well, one can also use a bed sheet for making a toga costume but then the creativity while using a bed sheet as a toga costume gets very limited. Make sure that when you are purchasing the fabric, the texture of the cloth is more towards cotton and is something which is comfortable to wear. If your height is not very high, then you can use 4 yards of cloth but if you are a medium height or a tall person then go for purchasing 5-6 yards of cloth.
Now you shall have to select a color for your toga costume. Many people who are not very familiar with this kind of an outfit would think that the toga costume comes only in white but you can also experiment with various colors while choosing a toga costume for a party. Wearing a differently colored toga costume would make you stand out in a crowd and it also expresses your personality perfectly. There are certain cloth rolls in the fabric store which have original patterns on them. This kind of cloth would be just perfect to choose for a toga costume.
Use your long flowing continuous sheet of fabric, start wrapping it around the mid section of your body. It is recommended here that men can keep the length of the toga till below the knees but women are advised to keep the toga just above the knees. This would give the women a more attractive and hot look. Wrap the cloth nicely and comfortably around you. Make sure that it is not too tight or else you might find yourself gasping for breath in the middle of the party! Use several safety pins and clips to secure the fabric together.
Continue wrapping the cloth around your body for several times. The women would surely like to cover the top portion and the men can choose the “over the shoulder look” by throwing the remaining slack of fabric across their chest towards the back and then clasp it behind. It is a fact that when you start wrapping the toga you have an idea about what kind of a look you are wanting to project at the party. Whatever style you select while wearing a toga, it is advised that you keep yourselves comfortable.
Your toga costume is ready and you are ready to rock. You have the options of accessorizing the costume with a laurel head wreath for the extra effect and also do not forget those sandals on your feet for completing the look of your toga attire!
