A toga is some form of dress that was traditionally worn the by the Romans. It was used to represent the height of the proud Roman civilization as well as power and peace. A male toga is an example of the various togas and this was mainly worn for purposes of entertainment. Toga parties that were mostly held in college campuses were the main events where togas were worn. A toga has a very simple design meaning that anyone will have an easy time making one. However when making one you will need to keep in mind a few guidelines.
You will first be required to have several materials which will mainly include a fabric, a thread, sewing machine, scissors, safety pin as well as a tape measure. When you have all these materials in place you can now start the process. The first thing when knowing how to make a male toga will be to choose the appropriate fabric with most people preferring a bed sheet. You can however purchase a high quality fabric from a retail store if you wish to have an impressive toga. This fabric does not matter on type as it can be cotton, polyester, silk as well as any other type.
The next thing will be to determine the size of fabric to work with. The size of the fabric will mainly depend on the height of the person as well as the desired length. Choosing the color of the fabric is the nest thing to do. You can make togas from any fabric color although a majority of people like them in white. The other thing to do is to get the right dimensions of the toga. This is done by measuring the distance from the neck to the desired part any where below the knees.
The waist measurements are also supposed to be taken. The appropriate size of the fabric will be about six yards and this will mainly depend on the draping. The appropriate width should then be taken and here you are also supposed to decide if to cut the fabric into two equal parts or to fold in two parts. If you decide to cut into two parts you must use a matching sewing thread to join the two pieces together. If you choose to fold the fabric into two you are supposed to join the loose ends because this will enable the cloth to remain in place nicely and therefore will not move from side to side.
That should be the last thing to do when learning how to make a toga and you can now wear it. This toga can be worn by wrapping it around the body at least one and a half rounds and the remainder of the cloth being thrown around either one of the shoulders. The cloth that will remain from the back should then be brought across any one of the shoulders and this will make it to fall to the front until it has reached the waist. You should then fasten it to the waist fabric using the safety pin. When wearing a male toga it is necessary to wear some clothing underneath which may include boxer shorts.
