To Toga or not to Toga? To Toga!!!
The toga is probably the most distinctive garment or clothing of ancient times, especially in Greece and Rome. This long cloth, usually about twenty feet, is wrapped all around the body and is commonly put over a tunic. It is usually made of the finest wool, and the tunic made of linen.
After time, the Toga was not just another piece of clothing. It had developed important significance as it was stopped being worn in everyday life. It was used only during ceremonies. Also it symbolizes different ranks of power as high officials were usually sporting it, such as magistrates. One more other symbolic meaning the toga had was that it was thought of a sign of peace as the soldiers never wore these outfits to battle.
Classic Toga (Female) Costume
Whether you want to embody power or peace or both, the Classic Toga (Female) Costume is the way to go. This little number looks just like the original piece, but with a modern twist. And unlike the ones the Greeks used to wear before, this garment is not twenty feet long, it is not made of wool, and not a lot of wrapping is involved.
Just like the ones worn in the olden age, this Greek costume is practically all white. The only hint of color that you will find on this above the knee piece is the gold lining on the bottom half and the gold tie on the upper left side of this look. Otherwise, it is immaculate. The fine way the cloth has been styled gives it that modern and sexy look as a white drape plunges down the neckline and sweeps over your right shoulder and flows down your back.
Tie it all together with a Greek inspired belt and show off those sexy curves of yours. Going Greek has never been hotter than in this Classic Toga (Female) Costume. Plus, just as it is called, you can never go wrong with a classic piece. These looks are forever. Throw in a pair of dangling earrings and you are good to go.

A little bit of history on this historic piece
Although it may seem simple, do not be fooled by the appearance of the toga. This garment is actually twenty feet long, so that’s about six meters in length. Usually made of wool, this is then intricately wrapped over a linen tunic. The toga is probably one of the most distinctive symbols of ancient Greece and Rome.
Back in ancient times, in the beginning, this garment was worn on any given day. However, after time, the toga grew in importance and significance and was only used during ceremonies and events. Also, this garment soon became a status symbol and only high ranking officials, noblemen, scholars, and rulers wore togas as a sign of their power. Not only because this is commonly white in color, the toga also symbolizes peace since warriors never wore it to battle and war.
Classic Toga (Male) Costume
No more fondling and tying your bed sheets and linens in knots. The Classic Toga (Male) Costume makes it easy for any man wanting to recapture the ancient days of Greece but with a modern twist. Staying close to its roots, this Greek costume is mostly white. But to differentiate it from what you sleep on, it has a little trimming on the bottom of a Grecian inspired laurel leaf print. The sides of the arms also have a bit of color as it is lined in black.
To add some shape, the whole look is tied together with a belt of the same design as the print on the bottom. And since Halloween is one of the only times when men can accessorize as much as they want to, this costume comes with two black wrist cuffs that complete the whole ensemble.
The Classic Toga (Male) Costume is available in the standard size, which is one size fits all. Because it is relatively adjustable, men of different figures can all fit into this classic look.

A Brief Look on the Goddess of Love and Beauty- Venus
Venus, known in Greek mythology as Aphrodite, was the goddess of Love, Beauty and Fertility to be exact. Her beauty was simply astounding which was what she used to seduce and lure men in to her arms and make them do as she pleased. Although she was already married, she was known to have numerous love affairs with many different men. But being as gorgeous as she is, who could really blame her?
Legend has it that this goddess got her title by winning the Golden apple. Her beauty over shone her competitors, Hera and Athena, as Alexander named her fairest of all. In return, she rewarded him by giving him the heart of the most beautiful mortal, the face that launched a thousand ships, Helen of Troy. But that is just the start of yet another myth.
Touched By Venus Costume
If you too have your eye on getting your very own golden apple and wish to be named the fairest of all, the Touched By Venus Costume promises to deliver. This super sexy thigh high one piece mini is sure to have all the boys at your every beck and call. The plunging V neckline is intricately embellished with shiny silver and gold sequins- as if that area needs any help in getting attention. The only other detail on this otherwise white and metallic gold mist Greek costume is a little golden ribbon at the bottom side of the dress that is used to adjust the hem.
Another thing every woman loves to do is to accessorize. This sexy little number will not be complete without the matching gold armbands. And for the crowning beauty of any goddess is the very finely detailed Rhinestone head piece. The cape that drapes down the back is sure to add grace to every movement you make. Just strap on a pair of gladiator sandals and you will be breaking hearts in no time.
The Touched By Venus Costume is truly the perfect look for any woman wanting to embody what the goddess of love and beauty was all about.
