Look 3: The High Neck Toga Materials: bed sheet 1. Start with the bed sheet pressed against your back and under your arms. Make sure that the amount of fabric on the left side is equal to the right. 2.Bring the two ends together in the front and cross the top ends forming an x by your neck. 3. Tie these ends at the back of your neck. Style them as you’d like. This should look like a turtle neck of sorts. 4. Adjust the sheet to where it feels comfortable and if wanted add a belt or rope around the waist. Look 4: The Criss Cross Toga Materials: bed sheet 1. Fold the bed sheet so it is the length that you want it. 2. Hold it behind your back and under your arms* with about 1/3 of the sheet on one side and 2/3 on the other. 3. Holding an end of the bed sheet in each hand, bring your arms across your body so that the one holding the 2/3 of the fabric is below the other. 4. Pull up the longer side from under your opposite elbow and wrap it across it across your back and onto its original side. Bring the other corner across the front of your body and onto the same shoulder as the other end. 5. Tie both corners together to secure the toga. Tuck in the excess fabric ends. 6. Adjust the toga so it doesn’t feel too tight. If the front fold has extra space, roll down the top into the toga. * It also looks good if you hold the sheet at around your natural waist. In this case you will have to open up the strap end so that it covers your chest. This form will be more fitted and accentuating. This is a good method to use with a stretchier sheet. 16
