There's a good article on Roman clothing, with pics, at:

There's a good pattern for a toga at:
http://www.costumes.org/pages/timelinepages/ancientrome1.htm

The toga was a semicircle, 9 feet across the straight edge, made of fine
white wool.  You had a draper to help you, and it went on wet, while the
draper arranged the intricate pleating.

For an excellent collection of illustrations of the various aspects of the
toga, see:
