A Few Female Pirates:
• Rachel Wall – Thought to be the first American female pirate who operated in the New England Coast. In 1782, George and the rest of his crew were drowned in a storm. She was accused of robbery in 1789 and confessed to being a pirate. She was convicted and sentenced to death by hanging.
• Mary Crickett – Mary Crickett and Edmund Williams were transported to the colony of Virginia together as felons. In 1729, along with four other men, both were convicted of piracy and hung.
• The Red Lady – One of the most cunning pirates of the sixteenth century who never revealed her identity. She commonly disguised herself as a singer or an entertainer to be brought on ships and once the crew ever advance on her or leave her by herself she would take her disguise off having a top, pants and her weapons underneath. She would then immediately kill all aboard the ship and sail to sea.

What Not To Wear: 7 Worst Fashion Mistakes By The Full-Figured or Plus-Size Female

1. Turtlenecks or High Neck Costumes. Never wear turtlenecks. Turtlenecks generally cuts the body from the face up and makes you look wider. Instead find a costume with an open and deep V-neck or sweatheart neckline that allows the eye to flow continuously from the face to your frame thereby elongating the neckline and gives the illusion of length.

Solution: If you have a costume with a high neckline, try to open it up if there are buttons. Otherwise wear a long necklace as part of your costume and this will help create that mock V-neckline that is known to elongate your neck.

2. Sheath Dresses Costumes. Sheath dresses are the most unflattering style for the plus size woman. Unless you are super thin, stay away from this dress. The sheath dress does not accentuate the waistline and is meant to flow gracefully over a slim body. For plus-size or larger women, there is often no extra fabric around the waist and therefore you end up with a boxy look, which is quite unflattering.

Solution: If you are stuck with a sheath dress costume, don’t fret. Take a large scarf (or chain belt) and tie it diagonally around the waist to elongate the waistline and to give the illusion of length and a waist.

3. Wearing Costumes That Are Too Small. The worst fashion mistake I see women make is not accepting their size. One woman who had gained weight denied it by wearing her old clothes – not appealing at all. Try to look at yourself with acceptance and realism. Then dress you as you are. I always hate pictures of me or mirrors, but I don’t want my parts hanging out either! You are a good person regardless of your size – dress to flatter that good person.

Solution: Simple! Don’t wear the small outfits.

4. Cap Sleeves. You know those cute cap sleeves that looks so adorable on those baby doll dresses? Don’t wear them. It makes your arm look bigger and fatter. Though the empire waist may be forgiving for the larger size frame, the sleeves are not.

Solution: If you are stuck with a costume that has those sleeves, get a shawl and cover up. Tie to the front in a V-shape and thereby creating the illusion of length again and a slimming effect.

5. Oversized Baggy Costume. Another common mistake of plus size women is to go the other extreme by wearing oversized clothing thinking that they will look thinner. Or they have such low self-confidence due to their weight so they try to hide by wearing an oversized costume. Instead, it makes them look worse and as result they feel worse about themselves.

Solution:Take the costume to a seamstress to have it taken in so that it fits right.

6. Horizontal Lines On Costumes. Don’t wear clothes with lines going across. Lines going across make a woman look wider across, which is the last thing we want.

Solution:Try to find a costume with vertical lines or that creates the illusion of length. If a replacement costume is not possible try to find a way to cover up, or dye the costume a solid color using fabric dye.

7. Tapered Pants Costumes. Pants that are tapered at the ankles will make your ankles look fat and stumpy. These type of pants only look good on women with slim legs.

Solution:Try to find a long top that has vertical lines to it (long fringes, or long cardigan) to wear over the pants. Or add a mock flare attachment to the bottom of the pants from the knee down so they look like flare pants.

One of the most difficult tasks that plus-size women or full-figured women faces is to find flattering styles that would look good on us. Yes, there are zillions of retailers out there, online and in brick-and-mortar shops but most of the buyers who buy for these shops most likely saw the garment on a model-thin corpse and not on an average-sized woman. The same holds true for finding Halloween costumes that flatter our curvy body. Ladies, ladies, ladies! Not all costumes look good on us! However if you stick to the same principles of what looks good on a full-figured body the same holds true for costumes. So what is it? Here are my 7 Principles FFFF:

7 Principles for the Fabulous Full-Figured Female (FFFF)

(1) The Empire Waist – Costumes with Empire Waists.

The Empire waist, either in dress form, tops, jackets, etc. puts emphasis on the smallest part of the body, creating an hour-glass illusion. By accentuating the bust line and having the garment flow over the rest of the body, emphasis is created at the top. Below are some examples of Empire waist costumes:

(2) The Halter Top and Sweetheart Neckline – Costumes.

The halter and sweet heart neckline are also a good choices for plus-sized women. It minimizes the width of the shoulders, draws attention to the cleavage and thins out the waist line. Since most halter tops already have a simulated empire waist built in, the halter serves as a double thinning whammy. The sweet heart neckline also draws the attention from the shoulders up to the neck and face area. It makes the shoulders look smaller and focuses the eye on the center of the body. Some examples of costumes with Halter Tops and Sweet heart necklines are:

(3) The A-Line – Costumes With A-Line.

One of the most flattering shapes for full-figured gals is the A-line skirt or dress, or the Boot Cut Pants (Also considered A-line). This style balances out the large size frame nicely since it draws the eyes from the top, with the larger shoulders, then down to the tapered at waist and then back out again with the wider hem line. A-line skirts and Boot cut pants are also very comfortable as the are also larger in the hip which makes for a comfortable costume. Some examples of costumes with A-line Skirts, Costume Dresses and Boot Cut Pants are:

(4) Vertical Illusion – Costumes That Draw The Eye Vertically.

Pick costumes that draw the eye vertically. Either with the colors, the seamline, the hem line or the pattern of the costume. For example, a long vest will draw the eye up and down, creating a lengthening effect. Dressing in the same color from head-to-toe also. A large scarf tied diagonally at the waist will make the torso seem longer and the body slimmer. Some examples of these costumes are:

(5) The Wide Brim Hat – Costumes with Wide Brim Hats.

If your costume calls for a hat, get one that is at least the same width as your shoulders, if not wider. This way the attention is drawn upwards to the brim of the hat, making the shoulders look smaller, followed by the hips.

(6) The Long Flowy Hair – Costumes with Long Hair Wigs.

Long Hair Wigs can also help make a large size frame look smaller. The long strands of hair makes the eye go up and down, creating the illusion of length. So don’t be afraid to wear wigs, extensions or wiglets to compliment your shape and to accessorize your costume. Have fun and wear a fun, long haired wig for Halloween! You would be surprised how many quality wigs are out there now that look authentic and very flattering. Some examples of costumes with Long Hair Wigs.

(7) Heels Baby! – High Heel Shoes.

The finishing touch of course are the heels! Wear sexy, high heels with your costume. This obviously gives you more height but also by wearing heels, it gives you a bit of oomph, attitude and self-confidence. By looking good, pulled-together, will make you feel better about yourself and that in itself will make you stand taller. If high heels are not your thing, there are plenty of platform shoes out there that will still give you the height without the ache!!
