I make costumes, I can help you with your costume sizing, and have it made to your size.

Spirit carries plus sized costumes. Try before you buy tho, as some of them lie about what size they really are.

Lots of luck - I know how hard it is to find good plus-sized costumes, being one myself. I wear an 18, but I'm big busted, so I have difficulty finding stuff that fits perfectly unless I alter it.

(I'm good at sewing, so I make most of my own costumes, but I splurge sometimes on the more elaborate stuff cause I get lazy)

Most stores online carry plus-sized costumes. Just do a search. I have some football playing friends that find stuff, and some lady friends that are able to find costumes as well. Unfortunately, they may be 10-20 bucks more expensive.

I have had success every year selling my costume for almost as much as I paid for it or more... so don't rule out spending a little on your costume, if you take care of it... you can sell it and recoup some of the money.
