Too tall and curvy for a straight-size large but not curvy enough for most plus-size extra-larges, I’ve resorted to a DIY Catwoman costume at LEAST five times, just because there’s nothing in my size at a run-of-the-mill costume shop. Luckily, having been through the Halloween ringer 23 times now, I’ve learned that the best costumes for in-between bodies live not in your local Party City — but with some of the retailers you already know and love. On top of all that, ASOS has a HUGE selection of spooky accessories that you can use to turn any old outfit into an instant costume. And if that doesn’t float your boat, it’s got an entire Halloween-inspired line that’s chock full of ’50s getups you’ll want to wear year round. But you’re REALLY going to want is its The Happiest Collection On Earth: Villains Edition. It’s an entire collection of femme Disney villain costumes, all with detailed sizing information, wide size ranges, and stellar return policies just in case. With cosplayers in mind, it also has a solid crop of accurate pop-culture-based costumes that you’ll be hard pressed to find anywhere else — at least, ones that aren’t in an extra-large that’s insultingly short and tight. If you’re tall or aren’t a fan of baring it all on Halloween, definitely look here first. Most of its super cute dress costumes hit just above the knee — a rarity in the costume department. Plus, this brand truly caters to in-between sizes 10, 12, and 14, and you’ll probably want to wear your costume out all the time after the holiday itself.
