Hi everyone!! Sorry haven't done a whole lot of posting lately. I've just been so tired.....

Anyway, I've been thinking about Halloween. It's coming up FAST!! I've been trying to come up with a great idea but not coming up with too much that it kind of inexpensive....

I was thinking about being Elvira but I can't seem to find a dress that would work that is less that $70. Also thought about a geisha but again, can't find one that is in my wonderful fat-friendly size. All that I find only go up to a size 20. frown

I'm lacking ideas this year.....anyone have any great ideas?

It's this time of the year that I really wish that I knew how to sew.....

I did Elvira one year. I got a waist cincher from this plus size costume shop (Just read the size chart and measure yourself with a measuring tape). Then I bought a simple black dress from Wally World and cut out a plunging neckline and a raggity hem. I think it was like $12. I had black hair at the time and I styled it into a big puffy crown like Elvira. Sometimes when you're a big girl on a budget you've got to improvise for Halloween. There are some websites out there with cheaper plus size costumes but they don't have an exact measurement size chart so it's hit and miss.
Holyclothing.com has aEbay store with some great plus size costume'ish clothes. They have ren and gothic type stuff. They ship from India so it takes about 2 weeks to get your item but the prices are decent, the items are beautiful and they have very accurate measurements.
I hope this helps a little. I'm a big girl who LOVES Halloween. I've spent many hours looking for costumes. Last year I looked for like 8 weeks....haha. Ironically enough I really don't plan on anything this year cause of the move. Last year we had a big party.
