Halloween is fast approaching, and I would like to find a decent samurai costume. However, the ones available through most costuming websites are just GOD-AWFUL. Folks, trust me, if at all possible, construct your own costumes. The crap these companies sell are a complete and utter rip-off, and they are the most sinfully ugly outfits I've ever seen.
The problem for me is that I'm plus-size, and if you think the costumes for regular sizes are bad, you should see the crap they sell for plusses. They're hideous, and they're maybe one size above regular, which doesn't make them really plus-sized at all.
A samurai costume is more than just throwing on a robe, slipping some swords under the sash, and walking around in socks and sandals. For me, it has to look like at least SOME thought was put into it. And, while I don't want to spend a fortune on something I won't wear more than once a year, for maybe one year, I'm willing to spend a little extra to obtain some degree of authenticity.
Oh, well...I'll see what I can dig up. I'll keep you informed.
