You would think that Fred Flintstone would be a costume that there would be plenty of for tall fat guys, but they are hard to find anyone have any ideas?

I'd make a Flintstone costume. Just orange, black, and blue fabric. There has to be a pattern out there somewhere, and if not, it's basically a toga.

Go for it!

I gotta tell ya, living in Texas, you have NO idea how many big ole boys wear overalls. I bet you could find some and make an awesome Jason costume, that's what my husband did last year. You could also be a scarecrow or a redneck with a good pair of overalls.

Let's see . . . I've seen a few big guy costumes premade, one was a beer keg, and it had a little headband with a "tap" attached to it, it was cute.

Oh, scrubs come in pretty big sizes, you could be a crazy doctor, with some blood smears and syringes, or if you're a little bit raunchy, a "freelance gynecologist" (sorry if that bothers anyone!).

Or, speaking of toga's, you could do a tribute to John Belushi in Animal House.

Personally, I love a good-sized guy in a gangster style zoot suit, I think that is pretty darn sharp.

I found a couple of sites for you:

But Dr Strange is right, wouldn't be hard to make yourself.

Ok I have a friend who is fairly large and he had the BEST costume one year. He bought a kids XL Big Mac costume. On a child it looks huge but on him it was like a tight tshirt. It looked sooooo funny though and he got it for $5.00.

To this day everyone remembers his big mac costume.

Hey revelesnet, Most of the on-line Halloween costume stores all carry a plus size section for both men and women, you could check them out, even if its only to get ideas.
