4. Bring the remaining right corner over the front of your body and tie it to the left corner. Make two secure knots at the top of your shoulder.
   • Adjust the sides of the sheet as you fold to make sure that the toga is snug enough to stay in place.
5. Secure the toga in place using several safety pins.
6. Complete your outfit with a thin, braided belt and/or a gold headband. Pair the outfit with flat brown or gold sandals. Go out and flaunt your look!
