With the average women’s size in the United States being a size 14 and the average men’s size being a 44” chest, there are finally more and more choices in the adult plus costume market than ever before. In the past, the adult plus costume industry catered to a younger and more standard size or offered costumes in a not-so-true “one-size-fits-all” size. Often bigger and taller men and women had to resort to making their own adult plus costume which could be tedious, time-consuming and sometimes just not “cool”. Plus sizes deserve all the options that are available to the “standard” sizes and, finally, supply is catching up to the high demand.
For the women, an adult plus costume is designed to play up your best assets (lots of feminine curves) while down playing those “problem” areas. For ladies with a little more to love, an adult plus costume can be sexy, scary, historical and more. One of the most popular choices for a sexy adult plus costume is the French Maid. You will look oh-la-la luscious in this flirty adult plus costume of a hot housekeeper. Just add some high heels and a feather duster and you’ll be tickling everyone’s fancy. A top choice in scary adult plus costume for women is the wicked witch. A must-have Halloween outfit, this adult plus costume typically features a black gown, cloak and the traditional pointy, brimmed hat; go spooky or seductive – it’s your choice! For the Renaissance Faire or a historical reenactment, an adult plus costume designed as a wench, princess or maiden is always a perfectly-dated choice. Typically made with full skirts and corset-style tops, your hourglass figure will turn heads. Another fun choice for the fuller-figure gal is an Opera Diva adult plus costume. Just don an empire-waist gown and two long blonde braids topped with a Viking-style horned helmet.
Men will find a manly adult plus costume ranging the classic Roman toga and the fuller vampire cloak to evil villains and do-good superheroes. As stereotypically jolly as he is, Santa Claus with his big red suit makes a much loved adult plus costume for men. The full cloak of a Monk’s robes makes a righteous adult plus costume, while the pregnant nun (yes, for men!) is hysterically irreverent. There are also several inflatable costumes that work well for a adult plus costume, such as a Sumo wrester or comical stripper, that will get big, big laughs at your next event.
Don’t just stop at the adult plus costume; add all sorts of costume props and character accessories to give your adult plus costume the full effect. From pretend weapons to magic wands for carrying about and special effects makeup and fantasy wigs for changing your appearance, you’ll look like a whole new you in an adult plus costume. Also, petticoats, stockings, tights and other foundation accessories are also available for your adult plus costume. Plus, don’t forget the footwear to give your adult plus costume a little “sole” – such as stilettos, go go boots, colonial shoes and more.
