Say goodbye to limited options and hello to a world of fabulous outfits that will make you look and feel incredible. In this article, you will explore five sensational costume suggestions for a plus size fancy dress that will make you the star of any event.

1. Timeless Elegance: Vintage Glamour

Step back in time and embrace the timeless elegance of vintage fashion. Channel your inner pin-up girl with a retro-inspired costume that accentuates your curves and celebrates your femininity. Opt for a form-fitting wiggle dress that cinches at the waist and highlights your hourglass figure. Pair it with retro accessories such as cat-eye sunglasses, a wide-brimmed hat, and vintage-inspired pumps. With this classic ensemble, you'll exude confidence and sophistication, effortlessly capturing the essence of old Hollywood glamour.

2. Goddess Vibes: Greek Mythology

Unleash your inner goddess with a stunning Greek mythology-inspired costume. Embrace flowing fabrics, draped silhouettes, and intricate details that accentuate your curves. Choose a beautiful goddess gown in soft, ethereal colours such as ivory or pastel hues. Add a golden laurel wreath headpiece and accessorize with statement jewellery inspired by ancient Greek motifs. As you grace the party, you'll emanate power, grace, and a captivating allure that will leave everyone in awe.

3. Dark Seduction: Gothic Glam

Embrace your dark side and indulge in a gothic-inspired ensemble that oozes mystery and allure. Opt for a floor-length velvet dress with lace details and dramatic sleeves. Add a corset to emphasize your waist and create a striking silhouette. Complete the look with black lace gloves, choker necklaces, and bold makeup featuring deep, vampy shades. With this bewitching costume, you'll embody a sense of dark elegance and captivate attention wherever you go.

4. Nature's Beauty: Enchanting Forest Nymph

Tap into the enchantment of nature with a whimsical forest nymph costume. Embrace earthy tones and flowing fabrics that evoke a sense of ethereal beauty. Opt for a long, flowy dress adorned with floral accents and leafy details. Enhance your look with a flower crown and accessorize with delicate nature-inspired jewelry. Allow your inner nymph to shine through, emanating grace, magic, and a connection to the natural world.

5. Carnival Extravaganza: Colorful Celebration

Bring the vibrant energy of a carnival to life with a colorful and lively costume. Embrace bold colors, ruffles, and playful accessories that reflect the spirit of celebration. Choose a vibrant, multi-layered dress with sequins and feathers. Accessorize with a statement headdress, beaded necklaces, and vibrant makeup. Let your joyful personality shine through as you dance and twirl, spreading the infectious spirit of the carnival.

New from UpCircle Beauty

With the tagline 'Natural skincare with upcycled ingredients', Upcircle is a brand to watch because over the last few years, there has been some pretty incredibly products launching and today I am sharing two of them with you.

From candles and scrubs to bath salts and face masks, there is now a Shampoo Crème and Face Cleanser being added to the product line-up and they are like nothing else you will have tried.

The Shampoo Crème (£19.99), which comes packaged in a glass jar making it refillable, this shampoo crème is a hybrid of liquid and solid so its concentrated formula is said to deliver 3 times the washes of a liquid shampoo, which in turn means there is less waste than a shampoo bar usually due to the last slithers of the shampoo bar often being wasted.

As you might expect, this Shampoo Crème is a 100% natural shampoo with upcycled pink berry extract and alongside it you have Coconut Oil, Rosemary Oil, Grapefruit Peel Oil, Lavender Oil, Cedarwood Bark Oil, Clove Oil and Peppermint Oil, all of which come together to provide nourishment and it also works to protect against frizz and hair breakages.

As this Shampoo Crème is a concentrated paste, you don't need very much product at all.  The key to using this product is to ensure your hair and scalp is wet through and then all you need is a very small amount to massage into your scalp and hair and it lathers really easily leaving your hair and scalp feeling so lovely clean and refreshed.

The second product is the Face Cleanser (£19.99) with Oat Powder and Aloe Vera and again, this product has been designed in a pump action bottle to make it much easier to dispense and use.

This gentle formula is also enriched with powerful yet natural ingredients, including upcycled oat powder, soothing aloe vera, nourishing jojoba oil, and hydrating shea butter which works to repair and restore the skin’s moisture barrier as it cleanses the skin. Suitable for all skin types, this everyday vegan facial cleanser.

Dermatologically approved, this cleanser is luxurious and it leaves your skin soft and smooth to the touch. I have been using this as a morning cleanse for weeks now and it is a delight to use.

If you are ready to switch up your hair and skin care and want to be plastic free, environmentally friendly and give back, then Upcircle has an amazing story to share.
