Are you looking for a plus size goddess costume? Trying to find plus size costumes can be a challenge, so I put together this roundup. Since Hephaestus is the mythological god of smithing and building, we thought it would be perfect for our 3rd kiddo, who is our biggest builder by a mile! He loves anything with cardboard and tape, so this was right up his alley. My husband decided to do a Zeus Halloween costume, and needed a couple of props to add to his look. He also used a flat sheet to tie around himself. Then, he made a lightning bolt staff out of cardboard and a wooden pole. He then spray painted those gold, along with cardboard cuffs closed with Velcro, and gold leaves ribbon around his head. We used a few basic supplies for all the DIY Greek mythology costumes. They were inexpensive and impactful! In addition to all that, we’re planning to have him try using some beard oil and then putting gold glitter in his beard! I’ll let you know how that goes.

And that’s it for our family Greek mythology costume! It was a blast putting it together, and it only took a few short hours to pull together 7 beautiful costumes that made a big family Halloween costume impact. I hope this inspires you in creating some costumes of your own!Why be an ordinary woman when you can be a goddess?

Venusian and Loving It For my Hera Halloween costume, I took an old white flat sheet and tied it around myself in a two-shoulder style. (It didn’t stay up super well, so I need to figure out how to get it to stay better. I also wrapped the gold leaves ribbon around my head. Additionally, I made cuffs from cardboard, then spray painted them gold and closed them around my arms with Velcro.

Since Athena is a heroic Greek goddess of wisdom, my daughter decided to carry a gold painted cardboard book, as well as a shield. She used these along with a white tunic. Other than that, she used the same gold leaf ribbon, and cardboard cuffs spray painted gold and closed with Velcro. Super simple and pretty Athena Halloween costume!

In this blog post, I’ve chosen to go with the Greco-Roman visual representation of a goddess. Are these costumes the only visual representation of a goddess? Absolutely not. But these design motifs and visuals don’t cross into the territory of cultural appropriation. Gold face paint. This gold face and body paint went on beautifully and was impactful and inexpensive.

My kids came up with this idea on their own with zero input from me. They decided they all wanted to coordinate, decided on the costumes, came up with ideas for the other family members, and I just followed along. I sort of feel like I’ve arrived in parenthood! 😉 Look at the measurement, not the size label when shopping for your costume.
