- Don't use a sheet
- Let me repeat that
- Don't use a sheet
Go to a cloth store and BUY SOMETHING GOOD and, [shock of the century] SHEETS ARE REALLY EXPENSIVE! CLOTH IS CHEAPER. Really! I was surprised myself.
HOW MUCH FABRIC TO BUY ?
- Six Yards: this is the official recommendation. I think it's too long.
- Five Yards: a little closer to reality, how much draping do you want?
- Four Yards: good enough for a simple man's toga.
For those of you who have NEVER bought fabric, YOU control how much LENGTH you buy, the WIDTH is a standard width that all fabric seems to come in which is about five feet wide, roughly. I simply take that width, fold it in half, goes once around my waist (a good place to hide a belt), then over the shoulder and just drape from there.
The design is simple:
* The toga cloth is basically long and narrow
* (Which is why sheets don't work well)
* Pin one end of it to your waist
* Wrap it around you at least once
* Should hang to about the knees
* Pin it at the waist again, on the right or left side
* Throw the rest over one shoulder
* Around the back
* Pin it at the waist again
* Wear gym shorts underneath
* Sandals, if possible
* Carry something stupid like a sword

I think a few of you folks need to read the sub-heading of the page! Not to mention learn how to spell plagiarism!
You people are silly. BY the way... I remember something in my Latin class saying togas were typically 3 times the height of the wearer in terms of height. So if your 5ft tall... your toga length should be 15 feet... But I like lots of hazardous draping (it's fun when people trip over it).
Furthermore - you should check the fraying at the end of the fabric you're buying. Give it a slight tug at the cut end... if it's falling apart you wouldn't want that for toga, but you don't want something so heavy that it's bogging you down.
