For sewing toga required a double bed sheet in the amount of three pieces and ten meters wool fabric (necessarily thin). The cloth should pick up the desired shade. The ancient Romans outerwear was striped, white, cream, purple, or blue. 

Now about taking measurements. You will need to extinct waist circumference (D2) and the distance from your neck to toe (D1). Honestly, for such large items is unlikely to be expedient to do the pattern, but certain calculations still hold must. The value of D1 divided by seven. Of course, the toga are sometimes performed in the form of an ordinary long strip that does not have any rounding and slices, but for a classic Roman clothes character or beveled at the corners of the short edge. Also is calculated and the width of the required piece of fabric - H = 2Д1 + 5/56Д1.

The total length of toga is calculated by the formula Dobs = D1 + 3/7Д1. The pieces of material are sewn together with linen stitch. Don't be afraid, it will not be noticeable, because the Roman toga should be piled in folds. Then determined by the length of straight upper edge and bevel the top corners. Dver = 6/7Д1. Therefore, each edge must retreat to a distance (Dobs - Derh)/2. Short cut to calculate bevel angles. On both edges (top) D3 = D1 x 27/28. The point of the skew straight lines connect. 

Thento proceed to the calculation of the bottom corners. The total length of the flat part of the bottom - 5/7Д1. To determine the length of the bevels, overall length is subtracted the bottom and divided everything by 2. To find the height of the bevels of the total width of the material is subtracted D3, and then, the resulting measurement is divided by 2. This measure is postponed upward from the vertex of the lower corners. The points of the bevels are joined straight, and all angles are cut. The edges of the Roman toga are processed with overlock.

If you have the desire, then the edges can be pristroit braid. If you need a toga, for example, to perform in Amateur theatre, it is not necessary to comply with its classic fit. Take a piece of cloth 6 x 1.8 M. Express direct short and finish the edges without a border using the serger.
