This modern take on the classic toga offers a stylish alternative that’s just as easy to create. Perfect for anyone who wants to make a fashion statement while still enjoying the comfort and ease of a DIY costume, the two-piece toga is sure to turn heads.

How to make a No Sew Halloween Toga Costumes

Each girl had their style that they wanted for their no sew Halloween diy toga costumes. We decided that even though each girl wanted a two-piece toga outfit, we would construct all the toga skirts the same using a variety of skirt lengths. Then did a variation for each toga top. But ultimately they would make cute no sew Halloween toga costumes for them all!

Toga costume using a sheet

What size bed sheet for toga? Below I used an inexpensive twin top sheet to make this toga costume DIY. I used the finished edge for the bottom of the skirt to give the skirt on this two-piece toga outfit an instant hem.

I placed the sheet on my cutting board, and used a big plastic ruler and fabric cutter to cut the desired stripes I needed for each toga outfit piece. If you do not have these tools then I would suggest using a large flat surface and pencil to mark off desired measurements.

How to make a toga skirt in 5 easy steps

I used a 10″ length for most of the girls (most wanted short skirts). I determined this by taking a measuring tape from waist to length they wanted (remember to add around 2 extra inches because when you wrap the skirt it will gather at top and naturally become shorter) you can always change this measurement depending on height of the individual.

1. Determine length of skirt. We started with using 10″, however you can adjust this measurement to the desired length for the toga skirt.
2. Wrap 10″ length around back and overlap slightly in front of persons waist to determine width, then cut desired overall width.
3. Make sure you used finished edge of piece for the “hem” of your skirt of you have this available.
4. Before cutting the width, leave extra at the top to form “ties” (see diagrams below)
5. Make a slit on either side to thread the ties through and pull for a snug half knot, once snug finish knot in front. (Fringe edge of toga skirt for an extra detail!)

You can achieve a perfect wrap toga skirt every time with a cute side knot. You can then fringe, add trim, add ribbon, etc. This stayed very secure on all the girls using this method. It was tested out with all the dancing that they did. These toga party costumes, even though they were no sew had a nice finished look. For extra modesty you can add a bike short or bikini bottom underneath. Use safety pins tp secure any pieces that you feel may come apart as well.

How to make a Toga top with fringe

1. Cut a piece of sheet full length. We made the height 12″ with a 2 1/2″ fold over.
2. Press with a hot iron at the fold over to create a crisp crease. you can also add a few small safety pins if you want.
3. Cut vertical strips around 1″ each to create fringe with the fold over.
4. Make a slit on either side at back to thread the ties through then pull snugly at half knot, then finish knot in in back to secure. Same concept as skirt
5. We used the same detail from the toga skirt by leaving extra length and fringed the bottom with 1″ vertical cuts on her skirt for a complete fringed look!

Work on a flat surface to spread your sheet out. Use a tape measure and ruler to mark off desired measurements. Important to use a sharp fabric scissor or rotary cutter and mat, so that you can cut clean crisp pieces and strips from your sheet.

To add the fringe I measured an additional 5 inches or so, folded it over, ironed for a good crease then with a scissor cut the fringe.

This self healing matt paired with the rotary cutter and ruler, makes it super easy when making your toga costume. If you are a DIY’r like me these tools will become invaluable.

This rotary cutter makes cutting straight lines super easy.

Using this acrylic ruler with the matt is super helpful since it has a lip on one side that helps to make straight lines.

Scissor sharpening hack – Take a piece of Aluminum foil fold a few times into a square. Cut this with your scissors repeatedly to help sharpen the blade. I used this method when I cut the yarn for my pom poms, read about that here, when I made a pom pom mobile. This helped in sharpening my scissors.

Cinched bandeau toga top with straps.

Check out these easy diagrams, for step by step instructions! Pin or save these diagrams for the toga top and toga skirt for easy how to make a two piece toga. So simple!

1. Cut a straight piece and double it, cinched center with a ribbon (you can also use a strip of a finished edge of a sheet).
2. We looped the ribbon (or you can use a strip of finished edge of the sheet) around the center, made a knot at center to cinch front
3. Bring straps up over the shoulders and tied it securely to the back strap. (important! do not tie around neck this will not keep top secure)
4. We used the same method from the toga skirt. Made two slits at back of band and threaded ends through, pulled snugly at half knot and then finished knot securely at back.
5. You can take three strips of sheet and braid a length. this can be used for straps, or pinned at edge of top for a braided detailed look.
