Turn Your LBD into 3 Halloween Costumes

There are a lot of really cute plus size Halloween costumes available at costume shops, but (call me old fashioned) I like to create my own costumes with pieces in my own closet. The past two years running I've created completely different costumes using my little black dress as the foundation. And I plan to use it again this year.

Two years ago, I paired my LBD with feathery wings, a halo and ethereal eye makeup to dress as an angel. Last year, I used the same dress to great effect with strands of pearls, oversize sunglasses, and a bouffant hairdo with a crystal necklace as a tiara to channel Audrey Hepburn a'la Breakfast at Tiffany's.



This year, I'll be going as a sexy Jessica Rabbit-inspired Little Red Riding Hood: black dress, ultra high heels, and a red cape. If you haven't decided on a costume yet, pull out your little black dress and get creative with extras found in your closet and at your local party shop.







Some of the accessories in these Polyvore sets are incredibly overpriced, so I'm certainly not suggesting you spend tons of money on them. They're simply illustrative of the types of accessories you could look for.
