Goddess costume FAQ
- How do I make a DIY goddess costume out of a bedsheet?

- What shoes should I wear with a goddess costume?
- Flat metallic gold, beige, or tan sandals are best. Gladiator-style sandals with straps that wrap up the calf add an authentic ancient touch.
- Can I customize this to represent a specific goddess?
- Yes! Carry a fake owl and shield for Athena, a golden apple or red roses for Aphrodite, or a toy bow and arrow for Artemis.
