Leg Avenue Golden Goddess

Product Information

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. Finally, we had little baby Aphrodite Halloween costume! She’s our little love, so we figured she had to be the goddess of love. It made for a perfect DIY Greek goddess costume! Look at the measurement, not the size label when shopping for your costume. What is a 5X for one brand is another brand’s 2X!

Fortunately, the Greek mythology costumes theme my kids chose lent itself perfectly to simple but beautiful and impactful matching family Halloween costumes. There’s something about all being in the same color and style that really ups the wow factor, even if the costumes themselves aren’t super elaborate. I LOVE how our family Greek mythology costume turned out and am sharing all the details below! Since Hermes is the messenger god with winged apparel, my son created several sets of wings out of cardboard. He attached one set of wings to an old pair of flip flops (or you can get an inexpensive pair) and spray painted the whole thing gold. He also made a helmet out of cardboard and a paper bowl and attached another pair of wings to that, and spray painted that gold, as well. He also used his stuffed snake to wrap around his caduceus, an angel tunic, a shield, and the gold leaves ribbon. I loved how this Hermes Halloween costume turned out!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. 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.

Writing posts like this is a bit fun, and also, challenging. What do we visually consider a representation of a “goddess”? What cultures do we choose from and why? Did you know that Egyptian pharaohs were considered divine? How could they be anything less? They were well-dressed, adorned with beautiful jewelry, and had the full attention of everyone in their kingdom. Can you imagine the epic parties that the Egyptian gods and goddesses took part in? We can only envision people waving a palm leaf over them while they were being fed grapes and enjoying endless amounts of wine. It probably wasn’t all glamour and parties - what with the constant threat of being overthrown looming large. But still, it would be fun to indulge like a goddess every now and then.
