It might all seem a little overwhelming at first if you have never attempted something like this before. But it really is quite simple as long as you have the right accessories and a rough idea of what you are after.
Break it all down:
- Tunic or dress
- Shoes
- Medusa Headpiece
- Makeup

Step One:
First of all you need to choose a tunic dress that has really simple lines and styling. The best thing is to choose a neutral color like cream, ivory or white but if you want to be a little different you can always pick another color of your liking.

Hunt through your closet and attic for a tunic style dress. If you can’t find anything at home then go to your nearest thrift store and see if what you can come up with so that you can save a little money.

Next, you’ll want to wrap a gold cording or perhaps a braided rope around your waist, tying it in any fashion you really like. For a traditional Medusa Greek style, tie the braided rope or cord around your tunic or dress by going below your bust, by criss-crossing it in a “X” across your stomach, and around your waist.
- Homemade Medusa Costume Tip: If you are wondering where to find a gold braided rope – go to curtain store or check the drapery section at your local fabric store.
