Our picks in plus size fancy dress for Carnival and Mardi Gras season

I love carnival! For those who have not experienced a full on carnival Mardi Gras style then just imagine drums beating, loud music playing, dancing queens, boys, and girls, floats galore full of people partying, bright colours, drink, and lots of fun. Oh, and don’t forget, dressing up is obligatory. Where I live, I have never seen so many men dress up as women…but there is normally a theme to follow. Last year it was pirates, this year it is western. But if you are celebrating carnival, what costume would you chose?
But why is carnival so important? It is the last day to indulge before lent, so everyone lets it rip! The key for girls is to go for sexy, be it a school girl look or scantily clad pirate! Fantasy characters are also a big hit such as Alice in Wonderland making the Sexy Alice Costume a perfect choice with a short blue dress with puff sleeves and lacey petitcote.Infamy Revisited: What happened to Tiger Woods' mistress Loredana Jolie?This dress also comes with a cutesy petticoat and hair band. Available in XXL and XXXL, this outfit is ￡37.99. So, what about that sexy pirate look? The Pirate Lady Costume is very sexy with a black skirt with a handkerchief style hem, apron, ruffle white shirt which sits off the shoulders, and a brown leather effect corset, shive me timbers hearty! This outfit is ￡19.99. If you would rather your costume had a bit of sophistication for carnival then why not opt for the Fashion Flapper Costume with its retro look of tassels that will swing while you dancing the night away. Just add beads to perfect the look! This XXL outfit is ￡31.99.
"We want to showcase the lace, romantic and somewhat-vintage looks," Cacace-Vizer said. "They're really popular right now. We want to show brides how they can get the vintage look with lace or organza, tulle gowns."Wedding Wonderland will also have a small, intimate booth at Bridal & Beyond with elegant, "soft, coral" dresses and long bridesmaid dresses.Even though Wedding Wonderland participates in two to four different wedding showcases every year, Cacace-Vizer said they are excited for the new show."It's really exciting for brides," Cacace-Vizer said. "It gives variation since there are different vendors at each show. It switches things up so they are not seeing the same things, which is really necessary for brides."Bridal & Beyond will have a luxury lounge, food tastings and casino games, Howell said.
During the event, the newspaper will also announce the winner of its Your Day! Wedding Giveaway, a wedding package valued at more than $19,000.
