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

Even if you have no idea, please tell me how much fabric a 6' person would need to make a simple toga. I found this website, but it might be complicated: http://www.geocities.com/mokuraibozu/Being_a_monk.html It's basically a recreation site, so they may care more about being historically accurate and paying more attention to detail than you may be interested in. |
