Greek / Roman Plus Size Costumes

Roman Goddess Plus Size CostumeThis 100% polyester costume (except for trim) includes a white dress with liquid lame/georgette trim and headpiece. Shoes sold separately. See website(s) for measurements and sizing information. I’ve seen this same costume described both as a Roman Goddess costume and an Athena costume, (Athena is the Greek Goddess of Wisdom, the daughter of Zeus, the city of Athens was named after her when she gave man the gift of the olive, and the Parthenon was built in her honor). I don’t know which is correct, but nobody else is likely to know either, choose whichever one you like!

Medusa Greek Plus Size CostumeMedusa comes from Greek mythology — she was one of the three Gorgon sisters, female monsters, and Medusa was beheaded by Perseus. Medusa’s hair was not hair, but the heads of venomous snakes (hence the snake headpiece), and any mortal who looked upon her instantly turned to stone. This Medusa Greek Plus Size Costume includes a full length black wrap dress with a thigh high slit, black sheer sleeves and gold trim, snake headpiece and faux gold armbands. Shoes sold separately. See website(s) for measurements and sizing information. An alternate costume idea is to omit the snake headpiece and the costume could become a Medea costume (in Greek mythology, Medea was the wife of the hero Jason, who, when her husband abandoned her to marry another woman, killed her rival by sending her a poisoned dress as a wedding present). |

Athena Greek Goddess Plus Size CostumeThis Athena Greek Goddess Plus Size Costume includes a full length white dress with adjustable neckline, gold cording, trim and crown (exact shade of gold may vary from costume to costume), and attached sheer drape. Shoes and earrings sold separately. Plus size costume fits women’s sizes 18-20, but see website(s) for measurements and sizing information. Machine wash warm, no bleach, tumble dry on low, cool iron. The adjustable neckline and fuller loose top make this costume a good choice if you are, well, more well endowed. One of the reviewers also recommends that you wear a slip under the costume, it runs a little on the sheer side. |

Greek Goddess Elite Plus Size CostumeThis Greek Goddess Elite Plus Size Costume includes a 100% polyester full length chiffon gown with gold trim and embellishments, sheer elbow length sleeves, a gold coin necklace, and a gold leaf tiara. This plus size costume would be a great choice if you want to accentuate your bust. Shoes and bracelets are sold separately. Care instructions are hand wash only, no bleach, mild detergent, dry flat, iron with dry iron or steam with low heat. Plus size costume is available in sizes 2X and 3X, see website(s) for measurements and sizing information. You have to really look at the closeups of this costume to appreciate the detailing on it: the gold at the midriff is lined on both side with the gold trim that is also on the neck, and the sheer fabric in the sleeves and on the “peplum” draping diagonally over the dress also has a thin line of gold trim. The reviews I have seen of this costume have been very positive, the quality and durability of the costume was praised, it was a repeat wear costume, the fit was remarked upon by women as diverse as 5’3″ and 5’10″. The only “negative” comment was that the V cut bodice was a little revealing (if you mind that), one reviewer said she sewed in a little upside down V of fabric to make the costume more modest, but I think you could probably get away with wearing a cami or a lace cami underneath if you don’t want to do any sewing.
