How to Make a Fancy Woman's Toga

Skip the traditional toga style and go for an extra-glamorous look.

There are a couple reasons a woman may want to wear a toga. The most obvious one is for a costume party. Another reason is just to be playful and have a bit of fun with fashion. You can make a standard toga go the extra mile in regard to fashion and style. Take the time to learn a few tips and you'll have the fanciest toga at the party.

Things You'll Need

• White bed sheet or silver or gold fabric
• Glitter spray paint
• Fabric measuring tape
• Scissors
• Sewing machine or needle and thread
• Large safety pin
• Gold-colored jewelry
• Gold rope
• Leather sandals
• Silk leaves

Instructions

1. Buy a long piece of fabric as large as a bed sheet. Select a silky fabric in a bright shade of white, gold or silver or go with a standard sheet spray painted with glitter paint to add a touch of fun sparkle.

2. Measure the length of your body with a fabric measuring tape from your bust to the point of your body where you want the toga to fall. Plan to have your toga end just above the knee for a sexy look or create a floor-length toga for a classy, more formal look.

3. Cut the fabric or sheet to the desired length with scissors. Hem the bottom of the fabric with a sewing machine or needle and thread to give it a finished look.

4. Wrap the sheet or fabric around you and tuck the end of the sheet at the side of your body or over one shoulder. Pin the fabric together with a large safety pin that you can hide in the fold. Cut a "V" shape into the sheet or fabric to reveal cleavage for a sexier look.

5. Accessorize with shiny gold-colored jewelry for extra flair. Wear classy leather sandals and a headband made of silk leaves to complete the look. Add a gold rope around the waist to break up the color of the toga.
