Plus Size Halloween

in Editorial on 10/28/19

Matthew, my boyfriend, and I started this series in February where we recreate iconic movie scenes but with our plus size bodies. I came up with the concept because I wanted to continue to center fat bodies, create the representation I needed to see in film and television and start a conversation. See that post here . 

Since February, my readers have continued to ask for movie remakes so we decided to do movie remake, Halloween couples costumes. We went through so many ideas, finally landed on three! Beetlejuice, Matilda and Pulp Fiction..

I really wanted to show you DIY costumes, pulled from my closet or creatively styled. I find these are the best costumes. We put together three looks on a very limited budget and had so much fun! What remake did you like the most?
