Hestia

by SD

Please help me with a goddess costume for Hestia!!!!!!
She is my favorite goddess as she is so sweet, but that idea only makes making a costume for her harder!!!!

Here are some images of Hestia that I found:

As you can see, her clothes are a little different from the other goddesses'. Maybe a pleated skirt, with a simple tunic as a blouse, and a veil covering your head (she was represented as being modestly veiled and with a branch with flowers in her hand). Her symbols were the fire/the hearth (or a torch or candle), the kettle, the pot, the cauldron, and the broom.

you can see she has a kind of spear with a flame on it, I think it's a very good idea.
And, in case you want everyone to be sure about who you are, you could wear a kind of pendant shaped like the temple of Vesta in Rome, which has a very typical shape:
