Once the dress of the Ancient Greeks, now the toga is widely used at brotherhood parties. Read on to discover different ways to fasten your toga without having to sew it.
Steps
Step 1. Wear something underneath
You can use a simple tunic if you have one, but remember to always wear something underneath. For men, a white shirt is fine. For women, a fitted top or a strapless bra. In both cases it is advisable to wear shorts. These garments will serve to secure the toga and prevent unwanted exposure if the toga melts.
Step 2. Choose the fabric
A cotton sheet will do. In most cases, a white sheet is used, but don't hesitate to use your imagination. Set yourself apart from others by choosing a fabric with prints or a vibrant color, such as purple.
