There's more to Halloween than Ghosts and Goblins

Like other times of the year, Halloween has become a commercial event. That's not always a bad thing, especially in the case of plus size Halloween costumes for women.

Being a commercialized event means there are more options out there for plus size shoppers. Although, like other areas there is still room for improvement. What follows is a listing of retailers who offer plus size costumes in an array of styles from sexy to spooky.

The list is growing so come back again soon.

Hips and Curves 

They normally specialize in plus size lingerie like chemises, teddies, bustiers etc. But they also like to join in on celebrations like Halloween except with a high dose of sexy.

This year they have over twenty styles to choose from. My top five favorites are:

* Patent Nurse
* Ella Mental
* Miss Hellen Back
* Sgt. Love
* Treasure Hunter

They also have some nifty accessories like the sexy witch hat, satin pop-up hat, fairy wings, fingerless gloves and cat ears.

Where to find Popular Plus Size Costumes 

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.
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 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.
Plus Size Vampire Costume
I love vampires! Ok, I haven't met a real one but I love vampire movies (Blade), television shows (Blood Ties) and of course costumes. There are so many different styles
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 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 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
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 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.
