Halloween season is finally back, and as spooky as ever! This season is full of candy, apple cider, pumpkin spice, scary movies, and the only occasion you can dress up to mimic someone else. Picking out Halloween costumes — whether for a big party or an intimate get-together with friends — takes time and creativity if you want to come up with the best costume. Though I hate being the bearer of bad news, it’s time to go online (or head to the nearest costume store) and buy that costume you’ve been eyeing, since we’re already halfway through October.
It’s difficult to find costumes that not only aim for what you want to dress as, but also making sure it comes in your size — something that’s crucial for plus-sized people. Costume sizing is not always the most inclusive, with many companies not even making their most popular costumes available in bigger sizes. But one of the best places to find decent and trendy plus-size costumes is good ol’ reliable Spirit Halloween. Spirit Halloween has an excellent variety of plus-size costumes that come in different styles and levels of comfort. Here are the best plus-size costumes to snag at Spirit Halloween.
- A League of Their Own plus size costume ($50)
-
One of my favorite girl-power movies is the ‘90s classic A League of Their Own, which tells the story of a professional all-female baseball league during World War II. The costume is a beautiful pink dress that is fun and sporty but still looks totally comfy.
- Dark Ringmaster plus size costume ($60)
-
This ringmaster costume is bound to make you the star of any party! It comes with lots of accessories, including a bowtie, a hat headband, and a pair of knee-high socks to match the dress. Pair with some black boots and you’ll be leading the show.
- Flapper Dress plus size costume ($50)
-
This flapper costume will teleport you to the 1920s, feeling like you’re at one of Gatsby’s parties! Flapper dresses are SO stylish and glamorous. The flapper dress costume comes with a matching headband, but if you snag a boa and gloves, you’ll feel even more like a 1920s girlie. Heads up, the plus size versions of this costume are only available in-store, so head to your local Spirit Halloween to pick it up!
- Cruella de vil plus size costume ($60)
-
Disney’s most stylish villain is another great costume idea. This amazing Cruella de Vil costume is one of the best I’ve seen! It comes with a dress, spotted vest, her iconic wig, and gloves. Match it with a pair of red pumps and red lipstick and you’ll be the best villain at the party.
