Plus Size Pirate Costume

Long before there was a Jack Sparrow and Wil Turner, men and women favorited pirates as a costume choice. If you are going to kick ass on the high seas then you need a costume that is equal parts sexy and equal parts fierce.
First, you need to decide if you are going to be a generic “pirate” or if you are going to pillage a name from history. Some popular female pirates, that were real pirates, are Charlotte Badger, Anne Bonny, Catherine Haggerty, Grace O’Malley, Mary Read or Rachel Wall. Or make up your own pirate name by using an anagram of your real name. Another way to get a cool pirate name is with the online Pirate Name Generator.
If you are going to take the time to dress up like a pirate and make up a name you might as well learn the basic pirate lingo so you sound like an authentic pirate instead of a pirate wannabe. Don’t worry, it is easier than you think matey.
The Corseted Pirate costume you see here is from Halloween Costumes. It includes the faux leather corseted top and skirt, and striped head cover. All you need is the kick ass boots from Torrid.
