THE MANIFESTO IS MUTATING!  IT IS TURNING INTO A WIKI THAT CAN BECOME THE HIVE MIND OF ALL COSTUMERS, FINALLY LIVING UP TO IT'S SLOGAN: "COSTUMERS OF THE WORLD, UNITE!" YOU CAN HELP IN THIS PROCESS BY MOVING PAGES TO THE NEW SITE AT THECOSTUMERSMANIFESTO.COM, HELPING TO EDIT THE PAGES THAT ARE THERE ALREADY, AND ADDING YOUR OWN ORIGINAL INPUT.

 

Do you know of a book with information on draping a Toga?


Am looking specifically for information on making and DRAPING a Roman Toga - Augustus Period. Have some History of Costume books, but am having problems draping the draft toga I have prepared. This is for a 25 inch porcelain doll I sculpted - am using silk. Any suggestions for reference material depicting the draping of an imperial toga?? Thank You - Michelle
