Halloween is the perfect excuse to dress in your wildest ‘fit that would probably guarantee you some strange stares any other time of the year. But while Halloween is an all-inclusive holiday, Halloween costumes haven’t always been.

If you’re plus-sized, it can be exhausting searching for a costume that fits well and makes you feel good. “Over the years, I have found it pretty challenging to find costumes as the options are very limited,” says Jazmina Daniel, a plus-size influencer and cosplayer based in Los Angeles.

Georgette Niles, a plus-size fashion influencer based in Philadelphia, adds that for years she had to dress up as a cat or nerd “because I couldn’t find costumes to fit my size 20/22 frame.”

Luckily, as plus-sized fashion has evolved, so have Halloween costume offerings. Take a peek at this cute and clever 'fits:

Whether you’re trying to channel your inner Barbie or pay homage to Taylor Swift's newest rerecording (counting down the days to 1989 (Taylor's Version)!), here are the 50 best plus-size Halloween costumes to inspire you this spooky season. Because your size doesn’t determine if you can participate in holiday festivities—you do.

Barbie

Weird Barbie

If you loved Barbie, but don't see yourself as so stereotypical, opt for this fun dress and go as "Weird Barbie." (Especially if you had one growing up, it's time to pay homage.) Another plus? It'll give you a great opportunity to try out some new makeup tricks.

'The Bear' Characters

Have you been saying "Yes, Chef" a lot this year? Channel the cooks from one of the best shows on television right now by dressing up as Sydney or Carmy. Or, add on some bear ears to make a deep cut costume even more comedic.

Tay Tay Cheerleader

Taylor Swift has been all anyone can think about lately, and if you're already her biggest cheerleader all year round, why not celebrate 1989 (Taylor's Version) and Halloween by dressing up as one of her most iconic music video characters?

It's fun to play the villain for an evening, especially when you know no pups were actually harmed in the making of your absolutely fabulous costume.

Morticia Addams

Poison Ivy

Wicked Witch of the West

Add some green face paint for a sparkly and sultry twist on the classic Wizard of Oz character. When is Wicked coming out, again?

Dorothy

Don't feel like you're witch material? Go for Dorothy instead. Halloween is the perfect time to remember there's no place like home.

Cinderella

You might have to keep an eye on the clock in this costume, but at least you'll look amazing if you accidentally do stay out past midnight.

Storm

Add a silver wig, and—boom!—you're Storm from X-Men. An easy costume, yet so clever.

Daenerys From 'Game Of Thrones'

The Queen of Dragons might not have had the best ending on GoT, but you can certainly have the best Halloween dressed up as Daenerys.

Olympic Goddess

Meet: the perfect excuse to have everyone treat you like a Greek goddess for a whole night. Plus, Percy Jackson & The Olympians TV series is coming soon, so this can even work as a timely pop culture costume, too!

Mother Nature

This Halloween costume scores major points for creativity and intricacy of its design. Prepare yourself for tons of compliments—and important conversations about climate change.

Lilo From 'Lilo & Stitch'

This dress makes for an effortlessly cute Halloween costume, but you can also wear it on your next vacation or a hot summer day.

Stitch

If you just want to wear a onesie this Halloween (I don't blame ya), then consider this Stitch costume your new BFF.

The Twins From 'The Shining'

Prefer to embody the creepier side of Halloween? The twins from The Shining are about as scary as it gets (while still rocking pastels and ruffles). It also makes a hilarious couples costume.

SpongeBob SquarePants

"hot Patrick Star" may have been the 'It' girl Halloween costume of years past, but SpongeBob made plenty of noise this year, so it's time to switch to this iconic character. Maybe you can even have a couple's costume moment with Glinda the good witch? (IYKYK.)
