Plus size costumes

hey @pilot2fly welcome to our cantina! I too am a huge star wars fan (pun intended) and your right it is very difficult to find pre-made costumes of exceptional quality. the truth is that one size fits all costumes from halloween specialty stores just dont cut it. Iv been doing cosplay for years and have found that making your own costume is way more satisfying then finding one pre-made and you can custom fit it too.

the good news is that orange flight suits arent hard to find.

this here flight suit from amazon comes in 3XL (49 inch waist) would be perfect. it might not be screen accurate but it would sure look good. and you could modify the waist by adding some elastic. if you feel like thats beyond your capability you can get it done at some dry cleaners or better yet a Taylor. trust me though if it fits exactly perfect around the waist when you wear it standing then you will want to add an inch or 2 for maneuverability. the elastic is great for that and orange is an easy color to match for the extra fabric you will need...or you could just take fabric from the hem since you will be wearing some boots. Like I said before the rest will be props...

Have fun at the opening bro and good luck.

Check out the 501st legion and Rebel legion pages. Some costumes work well for bigger guys, others do not. The rebel legion forums will have lots of resources to help you put your rebel pilot costume together.

On the imperial side, the snow trooper, naval trooper, and scout troopers work pretty well for bigger guys.
