How to Make a Girl Toga With a Bedsheet

Resemble a Greek goddess when you wear a toga.

Bring out your inner Greek Goddess by dressing like Aphrodite, the Goddess of love, or Hera, the first Greek goddess. Whether you are attending a toga party or you are looking for an inexpensive Halloween costume, the toga is the ideal choice. If you have never wrapped in a toga before, do not fret; creating the look is simple as long as you have a plain white bed sheet. Polish the look off with Greek-inspired accessories such as a gold headband and appropriate jewelry. In addition, wear gladiator sandals and cuffs for a complete Greek goddess style.

Things You'll Need

• White or nude undergarments
• Brooch

Instructions

1. Put on white undergarments. Bedsheets are see-through; therefore, always conceal yourself, and help it blend in with the costume by wearing white undergarments. If white is not available, then choose nude undergarments.

2. Hold the sheet in front of you to determine the length. The toga should only reach to your feet; therefore, fold the sheet toward your body until the sheet is floor length.

3. Grab the upper corner of the sheet with your left hand. Slide your hand down from the corner 6 inches. You will hold onto the corner of fabric throughout the wrapping of the toga; the fabric will be used to tie with the other corner at the end.

4. Wrap the sheet around the front of your body and under your right armpit. The toga will sit just above your chest area and reach to the floor.

5. Drape the sheet around your back and under your left armpit. Pull the sheet taut to ensure a snug fit. Use your right hand to pull the loose corner, under the left armpit, around the front of the toga and up to your right shoulder.

6. Wrap the corner in your left hand around the back of your head, and tie with the sheet corner at the right shoulder. Adjust the toga around your body.

Tips & Warnings

• Place a large gold brooch at the knot on the right shoulder.

• For added coverage, wear a white tank and leggings under the toga. You can pin the toga to the tank top with safety pins to ensure the toga remains in place.
