A Guide to Plus Size Halloween Costumes

For this piece I'm concentrating on costumes that are for a size 16 and up because I do not consider a size 14 a plus size. I've found that many sites offer only 12-16 and call that a plus size section. Pay close attention to sizing information as costumes are often cut smaller than normal clothing.

Gangster Moll Adult Women's Plus Size Costume This one is for the sassy girls out there. It is stylish & tough. It sells for $79.99 & the size is the vague "Plus Size". I would assume that is on the small side & probably would fit an 18. The dress includes a belt with dollar sign buckle. To complete the look, add a Sexy Black Fedora for $14.99 & a Sexy Gangster Shoe for $29.99 in sizes 7,8 or 9.

Queen Of Hearts Plus Size Adult Costume This costume is quite elaborate & a little pricey but I think that it is worth it. It sells for $199.99 & comes in sizes 2X or 3X. Tim Burton's version of Alice in Wonderland will be released next year. Helena Bonham Carter will be playing the Red Queen, his version of the Queen of Hearts.

Elite Enchanting Princess Adult Plus Costume This actually looks like a classic Cinderella costume. What a great way to feel elegant. It sells for $174.99 & is available in sizes 2X or 3X. On the same page you can buy the accessories: a blond wig for $19.97 & a sexy glass slipper shoe for $19.99.

Sexy Ella Mental Plus Size Costume Not only is this costume sexy but it is also funny when people comment on your mental health. It includes a stretch knit shirt with vinyl restraints, skirt & hat. My sister wore it in the standard size a couple of years ago & received rave reviews. It sells for $48 & is available in 1X/2X (16-18) or 3X/4X (18-20).

Sexy Plus Size Ghostbuster Costume Inspired by the film, get your Ghostbusters Costume which includes a dress, belt, hat & backpack. It sells for $59 & comes in one size (14-18). As you may know they are considering making a new Ghostbusters film starring women (possibly Eliza Dushku). So if that happens, you will be ready to go in style not only for Halloween that year but also to the movie screening. Even if it does not get made, it's a classic movie that people will not soon forget.
