I need to make a costume for an All Saints party. I want to look like a Buddhist monk or perhaps the Dali Lama. I don't think you need a pattern, http://thefamoustouristdestinations....dalai-lama.jpg http://www.writespirit.net/authors/dalai_lama/pictures http://family.webshots.com/album/100865978bJiVqt http://family.webshots.com/photo/110...49838440uIrVUM Just get a few yards each of maroon and red and a bit of yellow, and start draping. If you take the first piece, double it lengthwise, and make a slit in the center large enough to put your head through, then sew seams up the sides (for modesty) to within about 12" of the center top fold (leaving an opening to put your arms through), you could then drape the other pieces artistically and pin to secure everything. 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. I'd guess 3-4 yards of the main color (enough to cover your body hem-to-shoulder and back again) maybe two to three yards of the second color, and a yard or so of the yellow contrast. You might find very inexpensive fabric at WalMart or a thrift store. Good luck! Beverly |
