Curve Girl’s best feature is that every piece of clothing is customizable, for free. You input your measurements into the order form and voilà, a perfect fit delivered right to your door.

If you plan to order an item in stock on their website, each Curve Girl item is offered in sizes 9X – S.

I’m in love with Curve Girl’s interpretation of a plus-size mermaid costume–it makes me wish I didn’t already have a costume picked out for this year!

hmmm… maybe I’ll order it and save it for next year!

Okay… okay… so I’m kind of cheating because I’m recommending a couple of jumpsuits in this “Halloween Dresses” blog. But I think these non-dress pieces from BloomChic would make excellent costumes.

Pro Tip! Scroll through their entire collection, not only the Halloween line, to find everyday pieces that would work for various costumes. For example, the tweed jumpsuit below would be perfect for actual professors or someone wanting to dress up as one.

HalloweenCostumes.com has the most robust selection of plus-size costumes I’ve ever come across–and the costumes are pretty dang affordable.

While their selection does become more limited in extended sizes, they are always adding new designs to their size-inclusive costume line.

I highly recommend heading to HalloweenCostumes.com and filtering by size to see their full line-up in your size.

^{Miss Frizzle – $50; available in sizes 7X – 1X}

^{Queen of Hearts – $100; available in sizes 6X – 1X}

I’ve included one costume from each size 3X – 8X in this post… to give you an example of what you might find on their website.

HallowenCostumes.com has dozens of Disney-themed costumes. My favorites are the plus-size Disney princess costumes! This Princess Tiana costume is available up to size 5X, and the details are gorgeous. Three words: corset lace-up back… swoon.

I have my eye on Belle’s gown and Rapunzel’s dress for future Halloweens.

^{Princess Tiana – $200; available in sizes 5X – 1X}

I love how convenient HalloweenCostumes.com makes it to coordinate theme-based costumes with friends and family. There are costumes ranging from toddler sizing up to adult 9X, including kids’ adaptive costumes.

Most reviewers say the costumes run true to their listed measurements and that the costume quality is on par with what you typically find for readily available costumes.

Shopping on Amazon is ultra-convenient, especially for anyone who needs a last-minute costume.

I put together a list of plus-size costumes with positive reviews on my Amazon Storefront.

Before recommending a product on Amazon, I always read through the reviews to make sure that plus-size customers shared that the costumes were “true to size” or “run large” — costumes that “run small” do not make this list.

I encourage you to read the reviews and product descriptions… and to search each brand’s main profile or website for more styles!!

^{Fiona Dress and Accessories – $130; available in sizes 8X – L}

Some of the brands available on Amazon also sell their costumes from their main website–for example, Fun Costumes on Amazon is actually the same brand listed in the previous section… HalloweenCostumes.com!

And some of the costumes in the Amazon Storefront are from Sanctuarie Designs, which is the next featured costume store in this post.

I included these brands in the storefront because sometimes it can be more convenient to order on Amazon, with Amazon Prime Members’ comprehensive shipping and return policies.

I love it when a brand has a truly inclusive size chart where the measurements are more likely to be larger than expected, rather than most brands which rely on plus-size sizing that is often inches smaller than needed.

Sanctuarie Designs is one of these awesome brands–this makes me excited to order something in the future. But I do have a couple of frustrations with the brand, let me tell ya.

First, Sanctuarie Designs charges up to $10 more for sizes 5X-10X. that sucks. Also, I find it a bit confusing that most of the product images on Sanctuarie Designs’ website do not feature plus-size bodies. That combined with the fact that their social media presence is next to nothing makes it hard to know how to gauge size and fit apart from blindly trusting the size chart.

Because of all this, I’m grateful that Sanctuarie Designs clothing is also available on Amazon–the customer reviews help me feel more confident.

Yandy is a lingerie company that creates form-fitting, sexy Halloween costumes.

Yandy has far more options in its straight-size line than its plus-size line, which is infuriatingly common in the fashion world. The plus-size outfits range up to 5X; and new plus-size options are added regularly. Check the provided measurements because the costumes are sure to run skin-tight!

Though it isn’t Halloween-centric like the other costume ideas in this post, I am in love with this glittering Día de los Muertos outfit for the Latinx plus-size community–I had to include it because it is absolutely gorgeous!

^{Dia de los Muertos – $93; available in sizes 5X – 1X}

Her Universe is a Fangirl’s dream. If you’re looking for plus-size Comic-Con outfits that are cute enough to wear in your everyday life–Her Universe is for you.

Her Universe is partnered with dozens of fandom licenses–Dr. Who, Studio Ghibli, Lord of the Rings, Star Wars, Marvel, DC Universe, Hazbin Hotel, Star Trek, Disney, and more. Most designs are available up to 3X and some are available up to 5X.

Created by Ashley Eckstein (the voice of Ahsoka Tano in Star Wars: The Clone Wars and Star Wars Rebels), Her Universe is the Queen of adding small, yet meaningful details to their pieces of clothing. Nearly every dress or sweater has an embroidered something that makes me smile. The Hobbit Dress is a perfect example.

PS: While it doesn’t fit the “dresses” category of this blog, I need y’all to check out this plus-size Captain Marvel jacket.

do it. do it now. badass, right?

Are you looking for a plus-size costume that takes you back in time? Unique Vintage designs stunning clothing reminiscent of decades before–from the 1920s to Y2K.

Is there a decade you resonate with the most?

The best part about Unique Vintage is that their clothes are an easy addition to your regular wardrobe. I have two pieces from Unique Vintage in my closet and I literally always get compliments when I wear them.

In my experience, double-check the measurement chart for each item and pay particular attention to whether or not fabric/seams give any stretch.

I figured it was fitting to include XPlusWear last because it was the last brand I researched for this blog… and I’m really impressed!

A lot of brands sell similar costumes–sometimes even the exact same costumes–it’s fairly common and expected. XPlusWear really knocked my socks off with unique designs that I hadn’t seen anywhere else. Especially because I have literally looked at hundreds of plus-size costumes over the past week… to find new, bold designs is exciting.

Just look at the Mystique SkinSuit, featured below! The peekaboo fabric is perfection. 10/10. No notes.

XPlusWear also has a vintage-inspired Showgirl dress and a classic Red Devil jumpsuit that would be perfect for any Halloween party.
