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 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.

"The toga, a distinctive garment of Ancient Rome, was a sash of perhaps
twenty feet (6 meters) in length which was wrapped around the body and
was generally worn over a tunic. The toga was invariably made of wool,
and the tunic under it was often made of linen."

I don't sew, I leave all the craftwork (cross-stitch, blackwork, etc) to
Maureen. However, I do know how to use a search engine to gather
information from the internet; knowing how much reliance to place upon
the information is another question altogether g

I'm not sure what you mean by "jumped on your text". I found a good
description of a toga and forwarded it to the group.
