Every year, people ask me for plus size Halloween costumes. But, as I have discussed several times on Instagram Live, I’m like the “Scrooge” of Halloween. I don’t like to be scared. I don’t like to dress up in costume. And I don’t do haunted houses or horror movies. Bah humbug! Haha.
So long story short, I don’t think I have ever put together Halloween costume ideas, even in my Polyvore days! But, because I love you, dear readers, I put together some plus size Halloween costumes for you! Plus, I made a list of places to look for plus size Halloween costumes in 2019!
Plus Size Halloween Costumes
I came up with three ideas that are pretty easy to put together: Ruth Bader Ginsburg, a handmaid from “A Handmaid’s Tale,” and Carrie Bradshaw. If you don’t like any of those ideas, I also listed places to shop for plus size costumes.
Costume Idea 1
So this Ruth Bader Ginsburg costume so simple. Get a graduation gown, which comes in plus sizes (indicated by “FF”), and sized by height. Then add a necklace or collar that RBG is known for. Complete the costume with a pair of glasses and a judge’s gavel. Wear your hear slicked back into a bun. And you’re done!

Plus Size Judge Robe {look for “FF” sizing for plus sizes}
Costume Idea 2
This second costume is also simple! Get yourself a red cape, sturdy boots, and a bonnet with wings. You can add a red dress to get the full Handmaid look. So easy! I also wanted to mention that you can find high quality versions on Etsy. And also the Wive’s costumes here.

Carrie Bradshaw from “Sex and the City” is another easy costume. I chose the outfit she wears in the opening credits. You can get a petticoat or tutu and a pale pink cami. Then add the “Carrie” necklace and a blonde wig. And although she wears heeled sandals with the look, I chose a faux Manolo Blanhik “Hangisi” pump, which Carrie was known for. Or if you want, you can get the real Manolo Blanhik Hangisi here.
