22 Cool Plus-Size Halloween Costumes

Update: Looking for Halloween 2016 costumes? Check out these nerdy plus size costumes, these festive plus size Halloween leggings, plus size costumes in sizes 5X/6X, and these fat positive Halloween costume ideas!

For curvy women on Halloween, finding the perfect costume can be tricky. You go to the shops and see rows and rows of amazing costumes in small through large, while somewhere in a tiny corner in the back of the store are a dozen outfits in anything bigger. Or at least... that used to be the case. Now, designers are embracing more than just regular, everyday plus-wear, they're embracing plus Halloween costumes, too! Behold.

Ursula from 'The Little Mermaid'

Disney princesses are all the rage every Halloween, but nothing makes a statement like dressing up as the baddie. This costume is body-hugging, covered in tentacles, and fits a plus size 20.

Sea Witch Costume, $140, Amazon

Skeleton

What better than a skeleton costume that’s equal parts sexy and dark? The see-through mesh trim, the full skirt, and bone top is perfect for anyone wanting to look, well, dead.

Skeleton Costume, $90, Amazon

Lucy from 'I Love Lucy'

Honestly, who doesn’t? Plus-size Lucy costumes have been around for ages, but they’ve always given off the “this is what Lucy would look like if she were frumpier and fat” vibe. This ensemble, on the other hand, has that subtle sex appeal we all loved Lucy for.

A Bat Girl

This cozy fleece costume has a super adorable hood lined with faux fur, bat wings, and soft ears for the warmest costume you can find.

The Sexy Schoolgirl

The sexy schoolgirl has always been a staple of Halloween, but never for the plus-size woman. This costume is a bold and beautiful option for any gal wanting to make the “I love my curves” statement.

The Classic Cat

Cliché, maybe. Done a million times, perhaps. But the classic cat costume just never goes out of style.
