From Halloween to Christmas to themed parties, nearly any holiday or event can be spiffed up with the right costume. Larger adult costumes are available in a wide variety of styles and colors and range from sexy to elegant to downright blood-curdling.
A good-quality costume can range from about $70 to well over $500, so buyers should take time to choose one that will fit, flatter, and fill a costumed event with fun.
