Buy Plus Size Steampunk Costumes
I first published my guide to plus size steampunk costumes back in October of 2020, and it has been freshly updated as of July 13, 2023! As always on my blog, I do not control what the brands listed do – so please be sure to double check — no triple check!! — all the info I’ve shared. Many brands have special return policies when it comes to Halloween costumes.
Before we get started, here are a few of my BEST tips for a putting together your own plus size steampunk costume:
- Tip #1: Invest or HUNT! When it comes to putting together my own plus size steampunk costume, I realized that I had two options: Invest in high quality costume I’d wear a LOT orrrrr HUNT for different pieces of a plus size steampunk costume on Amazon and other websites (blouse, skirt, etc). There are a couple of ready-to-go plus size steampunk costumes under $100, but not many! When putting together YOUR COSTUME, you get to decide your approach!!
- Tip #2: Look for VICTORIAN costumes, add steampunk ACCESSORIES! When doing the research for my own plus size steampunk costumes, I quickly realized that I’ve better off finding a Victorian costume (the historical era of steampunk) and finding various accessories (steampunk goggles, hats, little clock gears to sew on, etc).
- Tip #3: Have fun! Some people are purists (boring) about steampunk costumes, but that’s them! I encourage you to use your own creativity and have fun putting together your own plus size steampunk cosplay or costume!
If you’re looking for a plus size costume that’s a bit more traditioooooonally Victorian, then may I suggest you also check out this post I wrote about plus size Victorian costumes? <3
