Halloween is just days away and if youre a procrastinator like me, you still dont have a costume. As a curvy girl finding a last minute, fun and festive Halloween costume can be nearly impossible. But dont you fret, the Fat Fashionistas got your back! As a fashion stylist, I know I can pull together a costume using stuff I already have. Or something I wouldnt mind adding to my fall fashion rotation. So this year Im doing the same for you! Ive created five fabulous last minute DIY costumes for plus size babes. I made sure to anchor each look with a sparkly or sexy piece from Forever 21 Plus that would also be perfect for a night out or a holiday party. These pieces are doing double duty!

If I could be a unicorn everyday, I would. Im completely obsessed. My name would be Snapdragon Celestial Legs and Im currently rocking unicorn hair. So, technically, Im the closest one could get to being an actual unicorn. Still, what would be better than dressing up as the most magical creature on All Hallows Eve?

For this look, I wanted to ditch the obvious items like a white dress and horn headband. Instead, I opted for more unique pieces like a sequin dress, iridescent earrings and statement shoes. Creating a figurative and fashion-forward look that will start a conversation.

Wondering how I know what my unicorn name would be? Want to know yours? Check this out.

Most women own an LBD (Little Black Dress) so this look is super easy to recreate. Any LBD will do, but texture and feminine details like lace are major fall trends. So this burnout bodycon dress takes this look up a notch. Add black wings and a crown to complete the look. Step it up even more and add black ballet flats. If the witch is your go-to look think about switching up your accessories to become the Black Swan.

I was so excited when I spotted this cape dress! Its nearly identical to one of Khaleesis most iconic looks. The plunging neckline is sexy and creates the perfect space for a chunky dragon choker. Game of Thrones has been one of the most popular shows on television for years. So this costume could have some longevity. It could also be worn on New Year's Eve or to that white party that always pops up at the last minute.

I believe that if your thighs touch youre a mermaid. So, Ive been Team Mermaid most of my life. I wanted to be very literal with this look, while steering clear of the expected long flowy skirt and bikini top. This romper is sexy, scaley, flaunts every curve and has an open back. However, anything with a scale print works. Every queen needs a crown and seashells add a finishing touch to the look, so include both in your accessories. For a bit of added Disney trivia carry a fork with you. Only true Little Mermaid fans will be able to identify it as your Dinglehopper.

Emojis are modern hieroglyphs. Ok, maybe thats a stretch...or is it? I wanted to create a chic and colorful look in one of the hottest colors of the season, red. This fun and feisty look is sure to get a few laughs. Especially if you strike that pose! Chic and sexy this dress is red hot and perfect for a date or a night out dancing. So if you dont already have a red maxi dress adding one could bring some spice to your life.
