Ok. I’m pissed. I’m having a real issue with the costumes available for plus size women. I am not extremely large but I do find that plus sizes tend to fit a little better at the moment. This Saturday we have a Halloween Costume party to go to and so began my search for something that I could feel comfortable in AND not look like someone just threw a sheet over me.
I found a pirate costume that I thought was cute – until I saw the plus size version. Can you believe this crap?

Now, I would have totally worn the skinny girl pirate costume providing it had a little bit more material in the skirt length. I don’t need everyone seeing my entire thigh, thank you very much. But the Plus size version? Com’on! Puke green, brown, and a freakin’ red head wrap?? That’s absurd.
I’m sure they couldn’t find cute (pinks and whatnot) colors for THAT amount of material so they had to break down a few old saddles and bed sheets to do the trick. Thanks guys.
All I know, is if I was completely comfortable with my size - and if I knew how to sew – I would clean the floor with these businesses by making appealing outfits that regular sized women want to wear.
