Plus size costume question

**whynotgrl666** · 08-13-2010,11:34 AM

I know we have all talked before about the lack of good plus sized stuff out there especially for women. and since costumes run small a size 12 can be/need a plus size ! so my question who has ordered a plus sized costume they were happy with? and where did you get it. This will be my first year attempting such a thing so i wanted to re-hash the subject with you all . thanx-amy

I've purchased costumes from Spirit before - but never online. I'm a plus-size with ample ~assets~ on top and bottom. (I'm a curvy girl)

I've found that the only way to be truly sure it's going to fit me is to try them on.

The only way I'd order a costume online is if it's a loose outfit that isn't form fitting.
OR if I'd ordered from that manufacturer before and know for sure that their sizing runs small/true/large and know exactly what size to get.

Last couple of Halloweens, my costumes have been handmade or real clothing that has been modified. It helps that I know how to sew and learned that skill from a theater costume department in college.

Okay, I am a plus-size girl myself and I was looking to be Red Riding Hood that is a werewolf. I tried the slutty Little Red Riding Hood for plus sizes on-line and lets just say, I send it back and got my money back... I learnt that just because it said "this size" dont mean that it really is that size and will fit ya great. Plus there was this problem that it hardly covered my butt. Sooooo, that was the last time I attempted it. Other then that, my mother and I put our heads together to see what we could come up with.

This made me laugh, some of these are for the bedroom only! No doubt written by a man.

I guess they only have small bolts of fabric, so that's all they can come up with? Ofcourse dressing like that can be fun too, but it gets tiring when that's almost the only types of costumes the Halloween stores carry for women. Not ALL have to be slutty. That's why I haven't bought a costume since 2001. Besides making them are so much more fun and you're guaranteed no one will be dressed like you.
