Choosing a Halloween Costume that Suits Your Body

Posted on August 18, 2010 by admin

Finding a Halloween costume that fits properly and looks good on your body can be  a little bit difficult. But with some general rules for finding clothes for your body type, you can find Halloween costumes that are perfect for you.

If you’re apple shaped, or top heavy and busty, you should avoid loose fitting tops, puff sleeves, and anything too tight. Wrap tops and fitted waists will make your torso look thinner, and dark colours look best on your body type. Try a dark blue or black policewoman costume, or a French maid with a laced bodice.

If you’re pear shaped, or your upper body is smaller than your lower body (i.e. you have a small bust, but full hips and thighs), you should try brighter colours on top and darker colours on the bottom, and loose fitting tops and wide necklines. Try black flared trousers with a colourful, funky 70’s fancy dress top, or an angel costume with loose, flowing top and wide wing.

If you’re hourglass shaped, or very curvy with a defined waist, most things look good on you – long tops, fitted waists, and deep V-necks will show off your curves. Try an Egyptian princess costume to show off your frame, or a sexy Goldilocks outfit to accentuate your full bust and show off your thighs.

If you’re rectangle shaped, or straight with less noticeable curves, wear ladies Halloween costumes with V-necks, cinched waits, and spaghetti straps to draw attention to your upper body and make your bust look fuller.  Try a sexy witch costume with plunging neckline, or a pirate wench costume with fitted bodice and low neckline.
