Yep Another Costume Question.....

DH and I went as the Men In Black a few years ago. Easy costume - black jackets, pants, sunglasses and we went to the toy store and bought one extra large colorful ridiculous plastic gun and one little tiny water pistol. Black looks good on everyone.

Go all bandaged up with your husband bandaged around the head and carry a pail. Jack and Jill

Nun and priest? (I SOOO want to pull that one if I happen to be pregnant on Halloween some year... Pregnant nun with a priest. Lol. No offense to anyone...)

You can be a guy, and he can be a girl. That's what I'm doing this year... but I can't talk hubby into dressing up as a girl. lol.

Did you see the post about Joan Crawford--Mommy Dearest? I think that's an awesome idea!

You could be angry birds, they have like 4 different ones :) Try and have fun whatever you do... I also struggle with this and in the end I thing I am the only one judging.

Take Care!

One of my friends went as a farmer and he and his wife wore overalls. They had the bottoms rolled up and his wife wore her hair in a ponytail and had some hay looking pieces coming out of her pockets.

Not a helpful answer and no one would know who you were but one year I went a Mimi from the Drew Carey Show. It was alot of fun coming up with the costume.
I think you have a lot of good ideas posted and as a big fluffy gal also I know what you mean about the lack of costumes that cover what the world doesn't want to see :)

Do you have a friend who is a nurse or someone who has a hospital outfit you could borrow? Or two hospital gowns? (Wear one backwards to cover your behind!)

If you can borrow a stethoscope, that would be cool too!

I got my husband a roman gladiator costume. It's just a fake bronze breast plate with leather strips around the bottom with red material over the back. I am a curvy, full figure myself, so I made myself a Roman Goddess. I basically made myself a toga out of thickish white fabric. Lots of gold bangles, earings, gold sandals. They sell trim in the fabric section that looks like a Black and Gold Greek Pattern. I used iron on adhesive to trim the toga in that and it looed beautiful. ALl the bad parts are covered and it's one shoulder and knee length, so it still shows some leg and shoulder. Still sexy, but not over the top or slutty. I didn't use a pattern, just cut, and put it together with safety pins, no sew iron onadhesive an a strategic handstitch or two in places that were absolutley necessary for structural stability! Only took about an hour. Super fun.

Have you ever seen the movie Super Troopers? One year my husband and I want to go as the bikers. The woman dresses up as a leather, motorcycle Biker, while the man dresses up as a tour de France type Biker. Then He points to her and says "OOOOOHHHHHHH! Bikers!" Our friends would get a kick out of this!

You can dress in all black or try to find some kind of leather jacket at the thrift store. Wear boots and get the Biker accessory kit at walmart for I think $5. It has gloves, hat etc. It should be very flattering on you because of the head to toe black. For your husband, have him wear tight gym clothes (or even spandex if he can find it and is comfortable with it). Pin a Number to him like a bib at a race, and have him wear a helmet.

Put on shorts, Uggs, poof your hair & you can be Snooki! Or, Sonny & Cher would be awesome, if your husband put on a long wig and dress & you wore a mustache and some groovy clothes :) I've always wanted to do that, but my husband refuses. I, too am super uncomfortable with the skimpy outfits (which are not meant for me, anyway), so I will dress in comfortable clothes that cover me...this year, hippies for my hubby & I.

I was just talking to my husband about him dressing as a "tall drink of water" and me as a coaster. He said no, but maybe your husband is more up for the cuteness factor? :-)

I found a Raggedy Ann Costume. It was cute. A red wig with the dress and apron. It even included the red and white striped socks. All I has to add was the black shoes.

If you are into renting a costume, Santa Claus and an elf is a good one.

I think that you can be anything you want no matter what your size. It's not your fault the costume industry thinks Halloween is for showing as much skin as possible! In real life, people come in all shapes an sizes so the doctors, nurses, firemen, policewomen etc. are all sizes.

I don't see why you can't be a sexy devil! Who says a devil has to wear a skimpy low-cut leotard? Get red pants or a skirt a red tee shirt, devil horns, a tail and a pitchfork! Have your husband be the angel. It would be a cute turn of events!

Or go as 40s gangsters! Black pantsuits, hats, cigars, big guns!

Zombies? Bride of Frankenstein? Geisha girl and samurai? How about Togas?

Just don't ever think you can't dress as something just because of your size. I think you'd look a lot better than some tart in a skimpy costume!
