You can trim it however you like, use whatever buttons appeal to you, modify the neckline, sleeves, and hem. We all made the pockets into martini-glass shapes too.

hey, more pink!). Guests could still wear their Commando uniforms, but people could wear togas instead if they wished. Well, you know I had to take this as a challenge to combine the two&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>The problem is that most of the pink camouflage fabric out there is quilter&#8217;s cotton (or worse, flannel), so it&#8217;s very stiff &amp; doesn&#8217;t have the drape you need for a toga. I suppose you could wash it a billion times, maybe with rocks or something to break it down to a decent drape. But I didn&#8217;t have the time or energy for that (see: cancer). So I did a little websearching for knit pink camo. Found one, a great hot pink &amp; black camo on eBay, that I bought but the seller never shipped. At least they did refund me, but then I was out of fabric &amp; time was ticking. Finally found another one, cheap, &amp; they shipped fast. Whew! Ended up buying too much because how was I to know that this would take a mere yard &amp; a half, the stuff was so wide &amp; stretchy.<\/p>\n<p>I cut two rectangles, safety-pinned &amp; binder-clipped the shoulders (to carry thru on a long-standing joke), &amp; saftey-pinned the sides, both for time-savings &amp; a punk-rock look. Then I cut the sides into fringe, don&#8217;t know why, just felt like the right thing to do. Wore it with a wide elastic belt with corset detailing, plus black footless tights &amp; a breast-cancer awareness rhinestone tiara bought off Etsy. Also the &#8220;F#@K Cancer&#8221; earrings that I made &amp; the Pink Drink Commando sash. Had a very 1980s vibe, which suits me to a T.<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_3587\" style=\"width: 442px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/50.87.248.88\/~trystanc\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tryst-ppp-fromkendra.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-3587\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\" wp-image-3587 \" alt=\"Pink Drink Commando Toga '13, photo by Kendra\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/50.87.248.88\/~trystanc\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tryst-ppp-fromkendra.jpg?resize=432%2C576\" width=\"432\" height=\"576\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tryst-ppp-fromkendra.jpg?w=720&amp;ssl=1 720w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.trystancraft.com\/costume\/wp-content\/uploads\/2009\/08\/tryst-ppp-fromkendra.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 432px) 100vw, 432px\" \/><\/a><p id=\"caption-attachment-3587\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pink Drink Commando Toga &#8217;13, photo by Kendra<\/p><\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the ladies auxiliary of the Tactical Alcohol Consumption Squad, as formed by Kevin Roche and Andrew Trembley.
