This family run business has been thriving on the Internet for over ten years. Annie's Costumes is the original entity of the Extreme Halloween Network which is made up of other niche specific sites focusing on Easter, Santas, Makeup, Wigs, Luau etc. Annie's Costumes specializes in Halloween costumes for the whole family, including the pets. This company's base is located in Dania Beach, Florida.
Selection: Annie's Costumes has over 100 plus size styles to choose from. They have a unique selection of plus size costumes like Mother Nature, Beth the Bounty Hunter, Blue Pirate Lady, Sexy Musketeer, Queen Elizabeth, Secret Wishes Cleopatra as well as a selection of superheros, renaissance and television characters (and the traditional pirates, witches and ghouls). Sizing: Their plus sizes are clearly listed on each item along with the price. In general they offer sizes Xlarge up to 4X which is about 24 at its largest.
Pricing: Annie's has a wide variance in prices because of the different qualities of costuming they offer. There is the traditional Halloween wear which ranges from $45 - $60 and then there are deluxe costumes that are priced up to $300 (and incredibly lovely).
Availability: Annie's Costumes ships to the United States and Internationally. International shipping is a whopping $50.00 and is shipped via the US Post Office: Express Mail. Canadians have the option of a USPS Global Priority Flat Rate of $25.00.
Overall Impression: Fabulous. The plus size section is easy to find. When you click on it you'll find eight categories to ease your browsing: male plus size costumes, ladies plus size masquerade costumes, ladies plus size sexy costumes, ladies plus size period costumes, plus size movie and tv character costumes, plus size renaissance and medieval costumes, deluxe (as in expensive/higher quality) plus size costumes for men and women, unisex plus size costumes. When you click on a category you are shown a medium sized picture, and product information that includes price and most importantly the size. One of my peeves about costume sites is when their sizing info says "Plus" like all plus size people are on size. No worries about that here.
Items cannot be cancelled or changed so it's important to read what you are clicking on before checking out. Besides having nice costumes they also have an excellent wig and costume make-up section so be sure to check these out when making your order to take advantage of the shipping you're already going to be paying. Some of the websites in the network are still being updated and Annie's definitely is the best looking so far. If you are looking for something unique or are in need of some deluxe costuming (including gothic wear) then they are must stop in your online travels.
