A Plus Size Halloween
Thankfully it's getting easier and easier for the plus size consumer to find costumes online. Here are my Halloween picks for three categories (sexy, scary, and meek) and where to get them. I tried to choose the companies with the most plus size selections.

Annie's Costumes
This family run business has been thriving on the Internet for over ten years. Annie´s Costumes is the original entity of the Extreme Halloween Network which is made up of other niche specific sites focusing on Easter, Santas, Makeup, Wigs, Luau etc.

Buy Costumes
Claiming to be the largest Halloween costume and party supplier on the internet is no small feat but Buy Costumes does it. They have a large array of adult costumes, kid costumes, accessories (make-up, hats, wigs, masks) party supplies,

Costume Craze
Matthew Maloney along with co-founders Kathleen and Katie Maloney started Costume Craze in 2001. What started as a home-based business has grown into a national company with support staff and a large inventory of Halloween products.

Costumes for Couples
You have a spouse, boyfriend, or a significant other and you want to be all cutesy and do the couples costume thing. But you have no idea what you two can pull together. What is most important is that you don't let your size limit your costume choice.

Fright Catalog
This is a one stop Halloween shop for trick-or-treaters shopping for the whole family. There are costumes for young and old, props, movies, masks, make-up, wigs, and special effects. Fright Catalog has been doing business online since

Homemade Pirate Costume
I made this for my husband last year but it can be easily used for a woman pirate. First up, buy a pair of pleather pants from the second hand store in your size or bigger. The bigger you get the more material you have to work with. I say pleather because it would be a waste to cut into leather

Party America
Party America is not just an online store. They have walk-in stores across the U.S. and are considered one of the largest retail chains of consumer party supplies. They carry costumes for children and adults; accessories like wigs,

Plus Size and Halloween
Being plus size does not mean you cannot enjoy the fun that Halloween entails whether it be going to a party or just dressing up for the kids that come to your door.

Plus Size Costume Price Comparison
It is getting easier to find plus size costumes online as more and more companies expand their inventory. Unfortunately, not plus sizes are created equal. In other words, some companies will call a costume plus size when really it is actually Queen Size which we know is not plus size at all.

Plus Size Geisha Costume
Geisha costumes have been made popular with the success of Memoirs of a Geisha both in print and on the big screen. You can be a talented Japanese entertainer too.

Plus Size Ladybug Costume
There is something comforting about the black and red suit of the lucky ladybug. If you want to spread your own ladybug wings then it is possible with this ladybug costume.

Plus Size Marilyn Costume
Marilyn Monroe (1926 - 1952) was a Hollywood starlet from the 1950s. She was just coming into her own before her untimely death having completed thirty-one films. She has been an idol for curvy women since she hit her 30s

Plus Size Medusa Costume
There is something scary but at the same time sexy about the Gorgon Queen Medusa. She is one of three sisters from Greek mythology who had the power to turn men to stone should they gaze upon her in her altered form. Medusa's ability to turn

Plus Size Pirate Costume
A pirate costume is a great disguise for plus size women of all sizes. They are stronger and can survive longer at sea. Not to mention they make sexier pirates with all those curves.

Plus Size Princess Leia
Even after twenty years Princess Leia from the Star Wars movies is still a popular choice for a Halloween costume for women. Carrie Fisher has immortalized the look with white clothing and of course the buns.

Plus Size Red Riding Hood Costume
The famous fairytale about a young girl's journey to her grandmother's house and her unfortunate encounter with a very bad wolf was popularized by the Brothers Grimm. A team of popular childhood writers.

Plus Size Snow White Costume
Snow White was created in early 1800s during a time when the ideal woman was curvy, notice I said ideal, not peasant. When Snow White was released in film in the early 1900s the hourglass frame was most acceptable.

Plus Size Vampire Costume
They entertained us through television and theaters for decades with new shows and movies always in the works. There are a lot of famous male vampires but so on the feminine side. They seem to be more dinner than the dine-ee.

Plus Size Witch Costume
Witch Halloween costumes are a popular item. We have all grown up with some form of witch in our head although these days witches tend to be more sexy than scary but scary is definitely available. A bad witch is not

Plus Size Wonder Woman Costume
The Amazon Princess is a symbol of beauty, intelligence, love, skill and strength amongst women for decades. Even plus size women feel a kinship to her. It was only last year that a costume was actually available commercially for plus size women. This is a fast selling

Shimmy Sista
It has been slow to come but thank to people like Glenna, a lover and participant of belly dancing, women in sizes x to 4x can also have the active wear to make their dancing a serious hobby or profession.
