By Danielle Callaghan


If you are a bit on the heavy side you can learn a few things with plus size Halloween costume ideas. Wearing a costume when you are a bit on the heavy side can be tricky. You will have to choose an outfit that will not make your curves more obvious. Get something that hangs a bit loosely around your body.

A ghost outfit would be ideal for heavy set women because of its free flowing material. Ghost costumes can be bought anywhere and you can also create your own from a white sheet at home. Bore holes for your eyes and mouth. Draw a ghost-like face on the sheet or wear a mask for your face. You can also find ghost masks anywhere.

A medieval gown is also an elegant and cool looking outfit. Its long flowing fabric will hide a heavy frame. Pick dresses in dark shades to make you look smaller. Get gowns that go all the way to the floor to add height and slenderness. Choose the styles with large sleeves to hide big arms and pleats on the bodice to hide curves on your body.

If you have flabby legs, avoid costumes with short skirts or wearing pant that are fitting. Stick to long loose skirts that can keep your legs hidden. Accent your best body parts whether they are your shoulders, neck or bust-line. You do not have to wear something that looks scary. Elegant costumes are also suitable Halloween outfits.

Clown outfits are also perfect costumes for heavy people. They are supposed to look large and wide. They are also comfortable costumes for fat people. Pick clown outfits with stripes that go downwards with darker shades to make you seem slimmer. Wear big clown shoes if you can find them, a colorful afri wig, and clown hat. Complete the look with make-up.

Another perfect costume for heavy set people are witch costumes in black. Black will make you look thinner. Although there are sexy looking witch costumes, choose the ones that are loose and not fitting. There are witch outfits that have loose sleeves and some with a cape. The big sleeves will disguise flabby arms and the cape will hide curvy figures.

If you have seen the movie Little Mermaid, then you may have seen Ursula. An Ursula outfit would also be ideal for heavy women. Wear a flamboyant looking dark or black gown. Wear a white wig and heavy makeup. Sew on octopus tentacles around your hips or lower thighs. Make the octopus tentacles wavy and curly. Wear a gold pendant on your neck to complete the look.
