More 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.

* Queen of Hearts
* Sexy Pirate
* Treasure Hunter
* Eve of Seduction
* Miss Hellen Back

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