Roman woman

You don't need more than an opaque, white piece of fabric to dance through the carnival as an elegant Roman. Whether it's a bedspread or bed sheet - you're sure to find something like this in your household. Now wrap this piece of fabric twice around your chest like a towel. Pull the end lying on your back out over your shoulder and knot it with the front corner. To complete the Roman look, tie a cord around your waist as a belt. You are sure to have leather sandals in Roman style in your closet at home, otherwise 'normal' sandals that you can pimp up with a few leather laces will do.

It's getting fruity

Fruit and vegetables are popular last-minute costumes, because you don't need much. This year, we suggest the sweet pineapple as a costume option. All you need is a complete look in yellow, a green headdress and a brown fabric crayon, which you can use to draw on little Vs. If you're a bit crafty, you can make a green hairpiece or fascinator out of papier-mâché.

Meow!

Cat is also a very popular costume that can be made at the very last minute. You either still have a headband with ears in your costume stash or you can buy one. Then the costume is as good as finished. Simply dress completely in black, gray or white, draw a snub nose and whiskers with a black eyeliner pencil and you're done!
