Halloween Costume Ideas for Behind Closed Doors
Are you someone who usually enjoys all the activities and going on of the Halloween season, but somehow this year you do not really feel like going out and joining in the festivities? You might feel like just staying in the comfort of your own home this year. Or perhaps you might actually just prefer the comfort of your own bed more than anything else.
That is definitely understandable, as we all get the feeling at time of staying in, all comfy and cuddled up in bed or on the couch. Sometimes quiet nights in are the perfect choice for some well deserved rest and relaxation. But just because you are choosing to stay in this year on Halloween, does not mean you cannot enjoy the night to the full and actually dress up. If you are staying in this year, to relax and spend some quality time with your partner, you can definitely still dress up for Halloween, and have some fun times!
There are several plus size Halloween costume options which you can consider for some ‘behind closed doors’ dressing up and trick or treating! You can check out your favorite local lingerie store in fact, as these days most of them do stock up on themed sexy costumes and lingerie at this time of the year. Though if you want to stay in the comfort of your own home, and look around many options, I definitely suggest having a look around online. There are various lingerie stores online specializing in plus sizes, and at this time of the year they offer some unique, and very seductive costume and lingerie options, which can definitley help in spicing up your Halloween night in.
A very good place to start looking around in is Hips and Curves. They have a wide range of choice, and they service is top notch. Here are the costumes I recommend this year from Hips and Curves.
- Sailor girl
- Patent nurse costume
- Sexy school girl costume
- Eve of seduction
- Varsity cheerleader
Though do not stop just there, as you can find a multitude of other options in different stores such as AlwaysForMe and Henry & June Lingerie, so definitely look around and to find the costume which you like best.
So if you have decided to stay indoors this Halloween night, and just feel like cuddling up with your partner, do remember that you can dress up and celebrate Halloween anyway! It just takes a sexy plus size Halloween costume, and a pinch of imagination to organize some spicy and private trick or treating.

7. Snow White: This is one of the classics, which deserves a mention in any Halloween costumes list. No matter how many years go by, this one never grows old. So if you feel like playing it ‘traditional’ this year, Snow White is a worthy option.
8. Alice in Wonderland: Be careful not to fall down the rabbit hole when wearing this cure plus size costumer, which as tradition has it, should be light blue. This one is in my favorite books for sure.

Boo! Thinking Yet About Halloween?
Sure, Halloween is still a couple of months off, but just like at Christmas, all the good stuff goes early. So if you really want to make an impression come October, it’s time to start shopping - or at least taking a peek to see what you want to be this year. And how sexy.
Even if you don’t plan on handing out Halloween candy come October 31, a cute little costume may inspire you to give out some treats - even if the ones you’re handing out are best given in private. I don’t think any man can resist a woman dressed in this super sexy Flight Attendant Costume… whether at a Halloween party or just at home for a little “fun”. And don’t forget to wear something very sexy underneath… even if it’s just to make you feel great.
Spicing Up Halloween
Halloween is a great time to shed some inhibitions! When choosing a costume for Halloween, do not be afraid to be adventurous.
Play out one of your secret fantasies on this mystical, magical night. Let yourself be daring and bold and sexy on this one night where good girls get to be bad. Sexy fishnets and heels add attitude to any Halloween costume. Be a “Little Slice of Heaven” in a beautiful long line bustier with a lacy petticoat and sparkly fairy wings.
If a petticoat is a little too daring, wear a corset and wings with you favorite jeans, pants or skirt – white frills for good fairies, black patent for bad fairies. Which one are you?
How about going to the Red Hot Saloon Girl look? Next time your Midnight Cowboy moseys into town, you’ll be ruffled and ready and all decked in red. This bawdy bar-girl costume, available from Hips and Curves, puts you in the ravishing role of sultry saloon server… and him in the mood for all sorts of things. (Is that a gun in his pocket or is he just glad to see you?)
