How to Make a Greek Goddess Artemis Costume
- 1). Fold the ivory bed sheet in half horizontally. Make sure make sure to use a sheet fabric that is thick enough so the foundation of the costume is not transparent.
- 2). Wrap the sheet around your waist once or twice depending upon your waist measurement. For an Artemis costume, the bottom of the sheet should hit at your knees.
- 3). Secure the skirt of the toga by placing a safety pin where the two ends meet.
- 4). Drape the remaining sheet fabric over the bust and across one shoulder. This remaining fabric is from the rest of the sheet that was not used when wrapping the skirt.
- 5). Safety pin the "back" of your toga into the back of your skirt to complete construction. The back of the toga is made up of the remaining draped fabric that was pulled up to your shoulder to create the toga front. In this step, you are simply finishing the top by pulling the fabric over your shoulder and pinning it to the back of your skirt.
- 6). Cover your ivory toga with gold sheer fabric in the same way you put on the toga. Cinch both the sheet and the gold fabric at your shoulder by tying them tightly with a gold ribbon. Add a regal touch to the Artemis costume by wrapping a gold ribbon around your waist as a belt. This will also cover the safety pins.
- 7). Cut an olive branch vine, either real or fake, and wrap it around your head as a headband. If necessary, pin it into place with bobby pins.
- 8). Finish your costume by adding accessories such as Roman-style gladiator sandals, thin gold bangle bracelets on your wrists and a bow and arrow set over your shoulder.
