I need to make a costume for an All Saints party. I want to look like
a Buddhist monk or perhaps the Dali Lama.

Does anyone know what the garment that they wear is called and how to
make one? I've never made clothes before plus this only needs to last
for six hours so simple is appropriate for many reasons.

Even if you have no idea, please tell me how much fabric a 6' person
would need to make a simple toga.

They're called robes. Not sure if these are just long lengths of
fabric, or several lengths, or what.

Actually, why don't you put on a long wavy blond wig, put a couple of
soccer balls under your shirt, and wear something else maybe taken from
a camel.

Then you could be the "Dolly Llama".
