We are definitely pulling together some fun festive looks (are you dressing up this year?) for Halloween, but if you are stuck, need a little bit more help or just need some direction, we asked two of our fav epic plus size cosplayers TaLynn Kel and Brichibi Cosplays for help!

So grab your fancy pens, notepads, or just make sure to get ready to screenshot these awesome plus size Halloween costume tips, because there definitely some of the most helpful and practical ones!

Here are 5 Plus Size Halloween Costume Tips to Know!

TaLynn Kel is a femme writer, cosplayer who writes amazing articles on pop culture and making a space in the “nerd world” for Black feminist geeks. When we were able to grab a hold on this cosplay genius she offered several jewels for how to create your best plus size Halloween looks.

1.Choose Costumes that fit the Image you are going for

“I love being superheroes and villains, so I tend to choose costumes that fit that image. As a Black woman, dressing as a version of Storm only requires a white wig. You can choose to have a cape or not.

And Storm isn’t always dressed in uniform. You can make yourself a casual version and wear literally anything and add an X-man emblem. I used to make my emblems from cardboard and red and black duct tape.”

2. Use your Closet for Inspiration

“Use your closet for inspiration. Bought a hot pink skirt that you can’t wear to the office? Design a Halloween look around it. Maybe a pin-up inspired look.

Got a dress that’s a little too gothic for most occasions? Wear it, then add some dark makeup to create an evil queen inspired look.”

3. Use Tights instead of Bodypaint

“Tights are a quick and easy way to change the color of your arms & legs without body paint.”

You can cut a hole in the crotch and wear the tights like a shirt. If you layer two pair, it creates a deeper color with lighter shades.”

Brichibi Cosplays is a author, freelance script writer and cosplayer who’s all about speaking up on social issues within the “geek community.” We caught up with Brichibi to chat about some of her go to tips for recreating plus size inspired Halloween looks.

4. Don’t Be Afraid to Think Outside the Box

“Don’t be afraid to think outside the box. You can do alternate versions to characters, you don’t have to do the absolute exact version of the thing you want to dress up as.”

5. When in Doubt, Sketch it Out

“When I cosplay, a lot of times I end up sketching an alternate version of a character... so it’s not Wonder Woman in her traditional outfit, it’s a ball gown, because that’s what I’m most comfortable in.”

Did you get all of that, lol it’s all about being fun, fierce and free ladies!  Hope these plus size Halloween costume tips help you put those spectacular Halloween costumes together!

The Classic Trench Coat

A timeless piece, the trench coat is an outerwear staple that never goes out of style. Known for its flattering silhouette, it accentuates the waist and adds sophistication to any look. Opting for a belted trench can help define your waist and create a sleek, structured look.

The Statement Puffer Jacket

Puffer jackets are no longer just functional – they’re fashionable. This season, oversized puffers are all the rage, providing maximum warmth without sacrificing style. The key is to find puffers with a cinched waist or belt detail to avoid looking swallowed by the fabric. Bold colors or patterns like plaid and animal print can make your puffer a statement piece rather than just a practical necessity.

When it comes to fall fashion, outerwear is a crucial part of your wardrobe that can easily elevate any look. With these must-have coats and jackets, you can stay warm, confident, and stylish no matter the season. The key is to embrace pieces that not only suit your body shape but also express your personal style.

Remember that the right outerwear can elevate any outfit and keep you feeling both stylish and comfortable. When choosing your must-have pieces, consider fit and proportion—look for jackets that cinch at the waist, have adjustable belts, or feature structured shoulders to create a balanced silhouette. If you’re opting for an oversized look, make sure it feels intentional by pairing it with fitted layers underneath to maintain shape. And don’t shy away from bold prints or colors; these can add personality to your look while breaking away from the monotony of neutral tones.

I’m a ‘mature’ large-sized model, and in conversation with my agent at Ford Models in New York, I found out that I’m the only one in North America.

Let me repeat: I’m the only one. 
And I’m not getting booked.

I’m good with not getting booked because another model fits the casting brief better, but I’m the only one. So, if there were a casting brief, I would be the only one to choose from. Ipso facto, there is no casting brief for a mature, large-sized model.

Why?

We may have an old-woman-at-the-top problem here — specifically, the women in charge of the fashion business. 

Big, voluptuous young bodies are great, but I have the sneaking suspicion that big, voluptuous old bodies are seen as having been Let go.  Unappealing.  Maybe even a little shameful. 

Being old and large-size, it seems, is bumping up against those unwell stereotypes we were raised with, the unconscious, ingrained, generational, and tired, anorexic aesthetics of heroin chic. 

I believe that we (old women) are so deeply ingrained with these stereotypes that we can’t see ourselves with the same grace and empathy that we see others. Instead, we lament our aging bodies and lost youth — and my cohort is actually in charge of the fashion world.

The fashion industry has the power to show our daughters and granddaughters that authentic grace and beauty can exist for aging women.

We have the same moral obligation to demonstrate that being beautiful while being old comes in as many shapes and sizes, ethnicities, and quirks as it does while being young. 

I think it’s time for the old women at the top to wake up, show some empathy — to themselves first — and then fight for some grace for the rest of us by wielding their power for cultural good.  Write the casting brief. Start with New York Fashion Week. 

For our culture to be well, we need to see an authentic range of role models of aging.

And who better to talk about this than the costume designer herself, Francesca Roth? We sat down with the film’s costume designer to get the inside scoop on how she worked her magic to bring the film’s characters to life—wardrobe first, of course!

Dressing for Confidence—With a Side of Magic

Francesca Roth didn’t just dress the characters of Empire Waist—she empowered them. Roth shares how the costumes were more than just clothes; they were transformative tools that helped the cast embody their roles, and sometimes, even reshape how they felt about their own bodies. “I think it becomes a space that helps turn a personal discomfort into confidence,” she says. That’s the magic of costume design.

Whether it’s a pair of jeans that work perfectly for Marcy (played by Daisy Washington), who uses a wheelchair, or the iconic final dress worn by Lenore (played by Mia Kaplan), Roth ensures that each look represents both the character’s personality and their growth throughout the film.

And the challenges? Roth didn’t shy away from those either. “The challenge is that most clothes today are made for such a narrow range of idealized body types,” she notes. Sound familiar, fashion lovers? Empire Waist faced these hurdles head-on, showing the reality of finding clothes that actually fit and flatter in an industry still playing catch-up with inclusivity.

A Cast as Diverse as the Wardrobe

We’ve got to talk about that gorgeous and diverse cast. With so many different body types, Roth had her work cut out for her. But, like the pro she is, she took it all in stride. She revealed that a lot of the magic came from understanding how each actor moved through the world and how they expressed themselves through style. “I lean into their style and personality as strengths to make their character more dynamic,” she says.

The end result? A range of wardrobe pieces that felt true to the characters—and, most importantly, that felt authentic to the actors wearing them.

Take Kayla, for example, who gets her Clueless-inspired debut outfit. Roth shares how the over-the-top plaid skirt and faux-fur coat were pieced together from not one, but two skirts sewn together to accommodate sizing. Roth’s flexibility and ingenuity highlight the real struggle of finding on-trend, plus size clothes that fit properly. But the finished product? Pure gold!

Designing for the Plus Size Body—It’s All About the Fit

One of Roth’s key opportunities in Empire Waist was dressing plus size bodies in a way that was both defining and narratively impactful. “Often there’s a discrepancy between the sizes we think we should wear and what size we actually need,” she shares. Oh, Francesca, we feel that struggle!

Roth took the time to get to know each actor, asking about their measurements, their favorite brands, and how they personally feel about their bodies. This meticulous attention to detail ensured that every costume not only fit but flattered.

The Iconic Looks: From “Clueless” Homage to the Showstopper Dress

When it came to dressing plus size characters, Roth made sure that each outfit felt intentional and empowering. The solution to ill-fitting garments? Alterations, alterations, alterations! And let’s just say, Kayla’s two-skirt combo was far from the only example of Roth getting creative with a needle and thread.

Okay, we couldn’t talk to Roth without fangirling over some of the film’s most iconic looks. Her personal favorite? Kayla’s Clueless-inspired ensemble that was both dramatic and so true to her character’s arc. “It’s Kayla’s ‘Clueless’ moment,” Roth gushes, citing Mona May, the legendary designer behind the original Clueless costumes. Finding a colorful faux-fur coat during a pandemic wasn’t easy, but Roth pulled it off.

And then, there’s the pièce de résistance: Lenore’s final dress. This custom-made beauty is the epitome of character development, representing Lenore’s journey toward self-love. Designed with a metallic pastel fabric, it was created in just five days, but the impact? Chef’s kiss.

As Roth puts it, “The dress is meant to represent Lenore’s growth toward loving herself and accepting her body.” And if you ask us, that’s exactly what it does.

Indie Designers, Are You Listening?

Plus size indie designers, take note! Roth is on the lookout for you. While the costume department often turns to big-box retailers for ease and quick returns, she encourages indie designers to slide into her inbox. “Never underestimate the power of the cold email,” she says, offering a cheeky wink to up-and-coming designers.

Roth keeps a list of designers and brands she loves and would be happy to reach out when the right project comes along. So, if you’ve got a unique, size-inclusive line, what are you waiting for? Closed mouths don’t get fed… right?

Empire Waist isn’t just a film about fashion, body positivity, or high school drama—it’s about all of these things and more. And Francesca Roth’s costume design brought this story to life in a way that only a true visual storyteller could. Through her dedication to making every character’s wardrobe feel authentic and empowering, Roth ensured that Empire Waist isn’t just a movie. It’s a movement.

For our fellow Curvy Fashionistas out there looking to express yourselves, take a page out of Roth’s playbook: be unapologetic, get creative, and, as Roth would say, if you love it—don’t hesitate!

We have often been an afterthought in the lingerie industry, relegated to overly practical, matronly designs. But CUUP aims to change that narrative by offering pieces that exude sophistication and modernity.  

Their new extended band range, which now includes sizes band sizes up through a 46-50E cup, is here to shake things up for plus size women. And we at The Curvy Fashionista couldn’t be more excited to explore what this means for us.

Right on the heels of the Eloquii acquisition, Full Beauty acquired CUUP in July 2023. Expanding their size ranges was only a natural next step into the plus size lingerie space. At a time where Savage Fenty disrupted inclusive lingerie, where Victoria’s Secret has stumbled their inclusive entry, outside of Cacique, Torrid, and the handful of plus size lingerie designers and brands, there have been limited plus size lingerie and bra options.

And we are always here for more options… right? Now we must note, not all of the collection is available in the expanded size range. It is a strategic roll out. Not only do you have options in bras, but this also includes sizes expansion into the matching panties, loungewear and lingerie up to a 3X or size 8. Exciting, AND it is on us to make sure that we share with you what to know and expect from this size expansion at CUUP!

From Sleek to Sexy: CUUP’s Minimalist Approach Meets Inclusive Sizing

CUUP has built a name for itself by embracing the less-is-more philosophy in lingerie. Their designs are stripped of unnecessary padding, over-the-top embellishments, and restrictive wires that often come at the expense of comfort.

Instead, CUUP focuses on sleek, modern aesthetics with materials that celebrate the natural shape and beauty of women’s bodies. Their entry into plus size lingerie is not just a win for inclusivity but also for those of us who want to look and feel amazing—without sacrificing comfort or support.

CUUP’s expansion into larger band sizes is more than just an extended range. It signals a thoughtful approach to plus size lingerie, designed with us in mind. The brand’s signature styles—like their best-selling Balconette, Plunge, and Scoop bras—now come in extended band sizes, ensuring that we can experience the CUUP difference.

The plunge neckline or the balconette’s delicate structure are perfect examples of bras that make you feel supported and sexy without compromising on style. And since the pandemic, many of us have backed away from underwires and uncomfortable styles. This expansion is perfectly timed!

But it’s not just about adding more sizes—it’s about perfecting those sizes for the unique needs of plus size bodies. CUUP’s bras are designed to eliminate some of the most common frustrations we’ve faced: pinching bands, uncomfortable underwire, and unsupportive cups. Their bras are made with lightweight, breathable fabrics that conform to the body’s natural curves, ensuring that your bra works *with* you, not against you.

With the use of innovative materials like power mesh and micro-modal, CUUP manages to strike the perfect balance between lightweight and supportive—something that’s been sorely lacking in the plus size lingerie world. It’s refreshing to see a brand that understands that plus size women don’t need more padding or bulk—we just need bras that are thoughtfully engineered to function, fit, and support.

The Best of Both Worlds with CUUP: Comfort and Confidence

CUUP believes that confidence starts with a good foundation, and their bras are the ultimate base layer to any outfit. Whether you’re looking for something to wear under a power suit, a casual tee, or a daring date-night dress, CUUP has you covered—literally and figuratively.

In a world where plus size lingerie options are often limited to neutral, uninspired designs, CUUP’s extended range is quite welcomed. Their color palette—featuring soft neutrals, muted tones, and the occasional pop of bold color—means you can find something that suits your personal style, whether you’re all about classic black or daring red.

Shop the NEW extended size range at ShopCUUP.com

As CUUP expands its offerings to include larger band sizes, it’s clear that they are serious about inclusivity. This new size range (44F-44G, 46C-46G, 48C-48F, 50C-50E) is a step (because they still have room to be more inclusive) in the right direction for the plus size community, proving that high-quality, stylish lingerie isn’t exclusive to smaller sizes.

Their approach shows that they’ve done their homework, addressing the unique fit needs of plus size women while delivering on style.

For those of us who have spent years searching for bras that fit well, feel great, and look fabulous, CUUP’s foray into plus size lingerie feels hopeful. Gone are the days of choosing between comfort and style—CUUP’s bras allow you to have the best of both worlds. We can experience the same luxury and attention to detail that CUUP has long offered in their core sizing, and it’s about damn time.

Founded by Leah Graifer, a former fit model turned entrepreneur, LeaLeaLove Clothing isn’t just another brand; it’s a labor of love, frustration, and a deep desire to fill a glaring gap in the market. “I want to make everything I have ever wanted but wasn’t sold in my size,” Leah shares, tapping into the experience that many plus size women know all too well: the struggle to find chic, well-fitting, and supportive clothes that match their personal style.

The Vision Behind LeaLeaLove Clothing

Leah’s vision for LeaLeaLove is clear: to provide stylish, high-quality clothing that doesn’t compromise on fit or flair. She’s committed to crafting pieces that celebrate curves, with an emphasis on adjustable luxury items designed for women of all shapes and sizes. From corset tops to versatile bustier dresses, this contemporary plus size brand focuses on creating pieces that both empower and excite.

Did you catch that? Bustiers and corset tops? Yes, please! But what truly sets LeaLeaLove Clothing apart is its dedication to making clothing that actually fits. Leah spent six months perfecting the fit of the brand’s bra cups, creating custom underwire shaping and a higher wire gauge for extra support and comfort.

“Boobs are 3D, not flat; they have capacity,” Leah explains, highlighting the brand’s attention to detail when it comes to plus size, full-bust fashion. “We make strategic choices about which fashion industry standards to ignore to solve problems for our customers.”

While Wicked Elegance brings the edge for fall, LeaLeaLove’s first collection, Fresh Femme Fatale, launched earlier in the year with a mix-and-match set that caters to brides and partygoers alike.

Featuring bustier tops, skirts, pants, and a versatile dress perfect for bachelorette parties, rehearsal dinners, or even elopements, the Fresh Femme Fatale collection offers a stylish solution for special occasions.

The standout piece? A black multi-colored floral dress that has quickly become a fan favorite, ideal for cocktail parties, date nights, or homecoming.

Introducing Wicked Elegance

The latest collection, Wicked Elegance, is an edgy fall line-up that features faux leather separates and burnt velvet dresses with stunning organza puff sleeves. This collection isn’t just about keeping up with the latest trends; it’s about embracing boldness and sophistication with garments designed to flatter and enhance curvier frames.

Perfect for a night out or a special event, these pieces combine high-fashion aesthetics with the practicality and fit that plus size women deserve. The Wicked Elegance collection reflects the brand’s dedication to serving all body types, and with the expansion of its size range from L-3X to 6X, LeaLeaLove ensures that even more women can access these stunning designs.

“We are thrilled to introduce our expanded size range and our new fall collection,” Leah said. “We are dedicated to providing stylish, high-quality clothing for women of all sizes while prioritizing sustainability in our practices.”

Commitment to Sustainability

LeaLeaLove Clothing isn’t just focused on fashion—it’s equally committed to reducing waste and making a positive environmental impact. The brand encourages customers to donate or resell their clothing, helping to address the lack of cute, plus size clothing in second-hand shops. As a step toward more sustainable practices, the company also avoids using poly bags for individual item packaging, minimizing plastic waste.

For a brand that’s just beginning to make waves, this level of dedication to both customer needs and sustainability is refreshing. It’s a thoughtful touch that proves LeaLeaLove Clothing isn’t just about turning heads; it’s about creating fashion with purpose.

What’s Next for LeaLeaLove Clothing?

LeaLeaLove Clothing is just getting started. While Leah dreams of expanding the size range even further in the future—possibly from XS to 10X—the current focus is on getting the word out and building a loyal customer base. And they’re eager to hear from customers.

“If anyone has anything edgy and fun they would die to have, we would love to hear more from our customers about what they can’t find or are looking for from us in the future,” Leah said.

With plans to improve products continuously and an exciting spring collection on the horizon for 2025, LeaLeaLove Clothing is clearly a brand to watch.

Looking for the perfect way to keep your skin soft and hydrated this fall? The Donkey Milk & Argan Oil Moisturizer might just be your skin’s new best friend and skin savior. Packed with ancient beauty secrets and modern skincare science, this moisturizer blends the ultra-nourishing power of donkey milk with the richness of argan oil, creating a lightweight, non-greasy formula that delivers serious hydration without weighing you down.

Infused with ceramides and the super-hydrator Hyaluronic Acid 4D, it’s perfect for battling the drying effects of cooler weather while plumping and smoothing your complexion.

Donkey milk, with its vitamins and minerals, locks in moisture and softens your skin, while argan oil, affectionately dubbed “liquid gold,” helps reduce the appearance of fine lines, leaving your skin smooth and radiant. And let’s not forget the ceramide complex that acts as your skin’s bodyguard, sealing in moisture and shielding against environmental stressors. Whether you’re facing brisk winds or dry indoor heat, this moisturizer ensures your skin stays resilient, nourished, and glowing. Ready to indulge in a hydration haven? This is your fall skincare MVP!

Burke Williams Spa’s H2V Beyond Tightening Hydration Mask

If pumpkin spice lattes are the ultimate fall treat for your taste buds, this mask is its equivalent for your face! The Burke Williams Beyond mask is infused with pumpkin enzymes, which are not only seasonally on-trend but a real treat and skin savior for the fall season.

According to Dr. Konstantin Vasyukevich, NYC’s top double board-certified facial plastic surgeon, “Pumpkin is packed with antioxidants that soothe dry skin and help remove dead cells from the surface while balancing oil production.” It’s perfect for acne-prone skin, thanks to the mix of enzymes and AHAs that control breakouts.

Add this mask to your fall lineup to take advantage of its combination of ginseng and honey. These ingredients work hand-in-hand to hydrate, tighten, and purify your skin. For an even more luxurious experience, pair it with a face steamer during your self-care routine to enhance the enzymatic action and get that spa-like glow.

Masktini’s WHOA! LIT Brightening Booster

Looking for a simple way to elevate your skincare routine with minimal effort? Enter Masktini’s WHOA! LIT brightening booster. This product packs a punch with hero ingredients like niacinamide and hyaluronic acid.

As Dr. Vasyukevich shares, “Hyaluronic acid helps keep skin hydrated as the air dries out, but it should always be paired with other ingredients like niacinamide to be effective.” WHOA! LIT does just that, keeping your skin plump, hydrated, and radiant while also regulating pigmentation and supporting collagen production.

This booster is great for daily use and is especially helpful as the cooler months can leave your skin looking dull. With consistent application, you’ll see a more even skin tone and a noticeable reduction in age spots. Plus, it tightens your skin and minimizes pores, making it a true fall must-have.

Oxygenetix’s Hydro-Matrix Moisturizer

Finding a lightweight yet hydrating moisturizer that lasts all day can be a challenge, but Oxygenetix has you covered with its Hydro-Matrix. This hydrating complex not only delivers oxygen to your skin but also provides long-lasting moisture that your skin craves during fall.

Its base of aloe vera makes it extra soothing for any irritation or sensitivity brought on by the cooler weather. Dr. Vasyukevich emphasizes that “Aloe is safe for all skin types and is great for reducing redness, inflammation, and tightness that often comes with cooler temperatures.”

Whether you’ve had a laser or peel treatment or just need something calming for everyday use, this product is a powerhouse in keeping your skin comfortable and hydrated all day long.

SISH Beauty Waterless Skincare Tablet

For those constantly on the go, SISH Beauty offers an innovative solution with their waterless skincare tablet. Just activate with water and steam, and you’ve got an instant facial treatment that smooths, brightens, and renews your skin in one easy step.

This tablet is also travel-friendly, making it the perfect skin savior for all your holiday trips.

These fall skincare must-haves not only prep your skin for the cooler season but also indulge it with ingredients that deliver long-term benefits.
