I am sorry Jackie but your question about an informal toga proofs that you didn't have the chance to wear one yet.<br>
The sheer bulk of the bloody blanket forces one to behave in formal ways. You can't do anything usefull in a toga, exept looking formal and important.<br>
<br>
Another thing. If you think of people who were a modern toga (lawyers,judges,professors), they never use a toga to go out for the weekend.<br>
<br>
As far as I know a toga was a traditional Roman formal dress for special occassions. Augustus has made laws to wear a toga in the arena and the forum. So it wasn't a very popular garment. The informal toga did not excist, because toga's were formal as part of their nature. So a word or translation for informal toga also did not excist. Or did it ?<br>
<br>
Looking for a translation on an "informal toga" is looking for something like an informal weddingsuit. I have not seen it yet, but if you find it I think you will find it is a rare case, the one exeption to the rule.<br>
<br>
But I love exeptions. So I will join you in your search for this white raven.<br>
