There’s no reason why ladies with lots of curves can’t find their favorite plus size Halloween costumes either. Gone are the days when women with plus size figures were stuck with dowdy costumes like a pumpkin outfit, or had to resort to making their own costumes at home. It’s possible to find plus size fairy costumes, complete with wings, a magic wand and all the other accoutrements that you want. Or if you’re feeling saucy on Halloween, you plus size ladies should have no trouble dressing up as a lusty pirate wench or a sexy witch in a tight, jet-black costume with a broomstick, cauldron and your pick of pointy witch costume hats. (You’ll probably have to find your own black cat, though, since most costume shops don’t rent live animals.)

Because the costume companies have shrewdly recognized that Americans are getting bigger and bigger, they’re happy to supply all kinds of plus size Halloween costumes in every style imaginable, from humorous outfits like clowns to foxy nurse outfits with stethoscopes and other accessories. There are also classic characters such as Little Bo Peep, Little Red Riding Hood, a commanding queen, a flashy-looking dancer, a lascivious Catholic school girl, an Indian maiden, a red-hot devil, a cheeky French maid, an attractive nun, and whatever else suits your fancy on Halloween. It’s fun to pick a costume that emphasizes your feminine curves and ample cleavage, and if you don’t want to show your legs, you can always choose a floor-length costume, or wear something with a tasteful and elegant cape.

Guys have just as many options as the ladies when it comes to plus size Halloween costumes. Some of the new superhero outfits even come with built-in shoulder pads and a six-pack front.
