10 DIY Plus Size Halloween Costumes You Can Sew
I’m currently on the lookout for DIY plus size Halloween costumes to wear at the end of the month. I have seen a lot of interesting costume inspirations I would like to wear but my mind is not made up yet. I’d like my husband and I to wear a couple-themed costume or maybe, if my kids are still into it, a group costume. Wouldn’t that be so much fun?
Meanwhile, here some of my favorite picks. Some are really sexy while others just covers up everything! I am so excited to show my husband this list so I can get his opinion on which one to sew!
1. Unicorn
Unicorns are rare and mystical creature! If you want a simple yet magical costume this Halloween, maybe you’d want to create this unicorn hoodie! You can replace the felt with tulle to make it more whimsical.
2. Ursula from the Little Mermaid
There are many versions of Ursula’s costume. You can make it very sexy if you want to. Here’s a basic instruction on how to create the costume, just click here. Here’s a more detailed tutorial on how to make the tentacle.
3. Greek Goddess
Break that mindset that only skinny women can wear the Greek goddess costumes. Curvy women can wear this outfit too. All you need is a white dress, a leaf crown and some gold blings. Click here to learn more about it.
4. Pocahontas
Like the Greek goddess outfit, full-figured women can definitely don this Pocahontas costume. So, wear this getup with pride, see the colors of the wind and find your John Smith. Don’t you think it’s cute?
5. Princess Fiona
For this costume, you will need a red wig and green body paint. To create the costume including the props, check out Glitzy Geek Girl‘s tutorial.
6. Queen of Hearts from Alice in Wonderland
This is my favorite character. If you need more ideas on how to create the other details like the makeup, tiara, shoes, and others, you better pay a visit to Hative‘s site for guidance.
7. Tracy Turnblad from Hairspray
From the silver screen to Broadway, Hairspray is a cult favorite. Have you ever thought about dressing up as Tracy Turnblad? To create the knife pleated plaid skirt, we will need to check out Carbon Chic’s tutorial. For the hair, here is a tutorial from Vintagious that you can follow.
