looking for plus size costume.. thought i would look here first...any type or style being considered

I'm trying to plan something too. I'm about a size 16-18, so I don't really want to dress up like a playboy bunny. Am seriously considering modifying a sweatsuit for a regular bunny (or maybe even a cat).

Here's an idea for ANY size! Go as DOMINOES! My husband and I did and it was so much fun!!! Get foam board and velcroe for straps. Paint your dots and divider line and add straps then wear over whatever. I went as 2 dots over 1 dot and he went as a space over a dot. Only the grownups GOT the meaning and we won Best Costume!

LOL- that's great! How creative, and I bet it wasn't too much money either. Something similar could be done for the kids too.

Where did you get the foam board and how much was it? Does it come in other sizes? You could do playing cards too if it comes in white.

Are you wanting to make one?
Do you want something simple?

I could give you all sorts of ideas, but like a little more input on what you are really considering.

You could go as a bag of jelly beans:
take a clear plastic garbage bag. get a packet of water balloons.
wear a pair of sweats or tights and a sweat shirt or leotard for the basic clothing.
cut leg and arm holes in the bag.
low the balloons up and put them in the bag (with you in it) and then take a ribbon and tie it around your neck. (not too tight, you don't want to restrict your breathing) and there you go! a bag of jelly beans.

I just bought some foam board at Michael's for a science project for Lauren. I don't remember exactly how much it was, but it was under $2, I think.

I may be going to a Halloween costume party and am looking for ideas too. I need something easy, something I can wear comfortably while sitting (since I'll be driving to the party). Nothing skimpy, and am looking for creative. If I go, Kathryn & Lauren will be going too, so a theme would be neat to do with them. They won't do anything girly though

Michelle,
How about going as characters from a movie?
Pick a Disney movie.
IE: Sleeping beauty, you could go as the three witches. Flora, Faunna, and Merriweather.
Beauty and the Beast, you could go as Lumiere, Cogsworth, and Mrs. Potts.
Sleeping Beauty, you could go as three of the dwarves.
Alice in wonderland, you could go as the white rabbit, alice, and the queen of hearts.
