Greek goddesses are mythical creatures of incredible beauty and power. Their ability to make mortal men tremble is legendary, and to this day still stands true. From Aphrodite to Artemis, the Goddesses of ancient Greece are some of the most famous women in history. One of the things that make the gorgeous women of the Greek heavens really stand out is the simple beauty of the gowns they are known for wearing.
Greek women dressed in basic flowing gowns that were best for the warm climate. Even the wealthiest women wore similar styles, but accented them with gold and jewels that told the story of their rank. When they imagined their Goddesses in art, the Greeks dressed them in the same fine gowns of simple style that noble and wealthy women of the country wore.
Since the days of the powerful and glorious ancient Greece passed into memory, our image of the incredible women of the pantheon of Gods and Goddesses known to the Greek people has simplified even further. Images of the various Goddesses - and there were many of them - from paintings over the years show them in varying costumes. But today, we think of Greek goddess costumes as simple white gowns with long skirts, pleats and high waist lines in the Empire style. Of all the costumes a woman can choose for Halloween, these Greek costumes are some of the easiest to wear for women of all ages.
With a long skirt and a flowing fabric, just about any body type can wear a Greek Goddess costume. The timeless look is flattering to everyone, and for every different taste there is a Goddess costume to fit. Longer more traditional dresses are perfect for those who want something authentic as well as more modest. For the brave and those who want to add even more sex appeal to an already incredibly sexy look, shorter skirts and options like strapless gowns, you can tailor the Greek Goddess look to your preferences.
The beauty and simplicity of a Greek Goddess costume has appealed to women for many years. It's the easiest way to feel like a true Goddess, while being comfortable enough for a long night at a Halloween party. With the addition of strappy sandals that wind up the calf and some basic gold jewelry, the Greek Goddess costume is complete.
No matter which of the many Greek goddesses you want to portray, the simple perfection of the Goddess gown is the perfect Halloween costume for any woman.
