Plus Size Star Wars and Star Trek Costumes

October 1, 2019 by Nancy Basile 4 Comments

In a galaxy far, far away lies the final frontier. This blog post is all about space-related costumes, like plus size Star Wars costumes and plus size Star Trek costumes. There's even one for Firefly !

I've always been a fan of science fiction. I was 7-years-old when Princess Leia showed up on the Death Star, kicking butt and shooting stormtroopers. Carrie Fisher (I miss her!) was my role model before I knew what a role model was. (Funny story: My dad went to see Star Wars: A New Hope before he took my brother and me because the poster showed Princess Leia in a clingy, filmy dress. He was worried it would be racy. Ha!)

Check out these gorgeous plus size Star Wars and Star Trek costumes.

Busy? Pin this to your Pinterest board for later.

Princess Leia

Torrid used to sell a  wonderful plus size Princess Leia costume. But it is since sold out and they don't offer it anymore. (You can find it sometimes on eBay or Poshmark .) You have a few different options for plus size Princess Leia costumes. Some are custom made, some are just sized up. Listed below are the best options I could find online for plus size Princess Leia costumes.

Plus Size Princess Leia (up to 9X) – Okay, cheesy photo aside (sorry, model, I'm sure you did your best) this may be your best bet for a plus size Princess Leia costume. It goes up to 9X, and sells for as low as $49 (depending on your size).

Kenicky's Plus Size Princess Leia Dress – Kenicky's on Etsy has a wonderful plus size Princess Leia costume. Goes up to 5XL but you provide measurements to get a great fit.

Plus Size Princess Leia (XL) – This costume is only for sizes 14-16, 40 to 42-inch bust, 36 to 38-inch waist. Barely qualifies as plus size, but anything about size 12 is considered plus size. If this is your size, you will look damn fine because the princess seams will hug your curves. Even includes the wig!

Plus Size Princess Leia Jacket – If you don't want to go full-on Leia, you could wear this plus size Princess Leia jacket from Her Universe. Pair it with jeans, leggings, whatever you like.

Need boots? Check out Amazon ‘s selection of wide calf white gogo boots to go with your costume.

Plus Size Rey Costume – For the price (a little over $50) you can't beat this Rey costume. I'm not crazy about how cream-colored it is, but it comes with everything you see in the picture, minus the shoes. (You can get short, brown boots just about anywhere.) This “plus size” fits size 18 – 20. Add a light saber so you can take down Kylo Ren when you see him. (And on Halloween, you KNOW you'll see him.)

Plus Size Rey Cosplay – This Rey costume is more of a cosplay costume because it's more expensive (over $100) and has more pieces. This is what Rey wore in Star Wars: The Force Awakens after joining General Organa and the Rebel Alliance. Goes up to XXXL.

Rey Casual Cosplay – Instead of going all out for your costume, you could do a little casual cosplay and still rep' Rey. This hooded cape and these fingerless gloves will do the trick. Add the leggings of your choice, boots and a light saber and you're all set.

Check out my interview with two wonderful plus size Rey cosplayers.

Plus Size Star Trek Costume – These plus size Star Trek costumes come in three variations. Blue is for the sciences and medical division and red is for operations, like engineering or security. There's also a blue  Into Darkness version that I think is super cute because the fabric is slightly different. All of these plus size  Star Trek costumes go up to 3X. Click an image to see that color or click the above text link to see search results.

ThinkGeek used to have a fantastic Kaylee costume from  Firefly . Of course, they are no more. However, you can DIY a plus size Kaylee costume fairly easily. I found two great DIY sites with ideas. Check out Quirkbooks or Maggie's Costume Site for your own plus size Kaylee ideas.

Captain Phasma

Plus Size Captain Phasma – There's only one plus size Captain Phasma costume out there. It only goes up to XL, which measures 44 to 46-inch in jacket size, 36 to 40-inch waist. Blaster sold separately.

OMG! I’m getting a star trek dress right Now!!

September 20, 2018 at 1:18 pm

Nevermind, its $299!! ???

September 20, 2018 at 2:08 pm

Hot tip: ThinkGeek is NOTORIOUS for huge discounts if you give something a little time. I shelled out $75 for my Gryffindor onesie. Only a few months later, it was about $18. I bet after Halloween, or even in a few months, it will be cheaper.

Caitlin O’Connor- La Traviata, co-production among the Lyric Opera of Chicago, Houston Grand Opera, and the Royal Canadian Opera Company

Costume Design @ the Turn of The Century, the most comprehensive international costume design exhibit ever curated, will open in June and coincide with PQ 2015. Designs will be exhibited in the galleries of the A.A. Bakhrushin State Museum in Moscow, Russia.

Candace Donnelly: Haroun and the Sea of Stories at New York City Opera

The Bakhrushin Museum, considered Russia’s foremost stage museum, has the largest collection of theatre art in Russia and is well known around the world. The exhibit will be presented in at least six of the Bakhrushin galleries throughout Moscow. USITT member Igor Roussanoff is collaborating with the director of the Bakhrushin, Dmitry Rodinov, to organize this extensive multi-country collection conceived to represent seminal costume designs between 1990 and 2015. The 24 countries represented include the United States of America, Japan, Hungary, Finland, The Netherlands, Australia, Spain, Venezuela, Italy, Serbia, Belgium, Slovakia, Pakistan, Brazil, United Kingdom, Denmark, Russia, Canada, Czech Republic, Ukraine, Mexico, Germany, and Poland.

The exhibit website is at www.worldcostumedesign.com .

Curators from each country are reviewing submitted designs. Those selected will be sent to the museum for final curation. USITT members Susan Tsu, Laura Crow, and Alexandra Bonds served as curators for entries from the United States. Among the designers advanced to Moscow are two of the costume designers honored by USITT monographs, Willa Kim and Carrie Robbins. Both award-winning designers are known and admired for their costume designs on Broadway and in regional theatres.

Others whose costume designs are being considered are: Marianne Custer, Judith Dolan, Deborah Dryden, Joel Ebarb, Connie Furr-Soloman, Raphael Jaen, Jenny Kenyon, Wendy Meaden, Susan Mickey, Michelle Ney, Sabrina Notarfrancicso, Linda Pisano, Kristina Tollefson, and Nic Ularu.

Participation in this international exhibit reflects the mission of USITT to provide members with access to opportunities on the global stage.

A Word of Caution on Costume Contacts

Halloween is our favorite spooky time of year, but we need to talk about the potential dangers of costume contact lenses.

The right pair of colored lenses will make a great final touch to an amazing Halloween costume, but not all contact lenses are created equal, and we want to make sure our patients know what to look for and how to safely use their contacts.

Don’t Forget: All Contact Lenses Are Medical Devices

All contact lenses, whether they help you see clearly or just help you look like a zombie or a vampire, are classified as medical devices. This is why you need to get a prescription from the optometrist before you purchase any .

Prescriptions are actually a good litmus test to find out whether a contact lens vendor is trustworthy. It is illegal to sell contacts in the US without requiring a prescription , and if a vendor is willing to break one law with their contact lenses, they might be cutting corners in other areas too, such as storing the lenses in sterile, sanitary conditions. It’s worth paying a little more to be sure that your lenses are safe to wear.

Contacts Are Not One Size Fits All

If you’ve never needed corrective lenses, the idea of needing a prescription for purely cosmetic lenses might seem strange to you, but it makes perfect sense. Everyone’s eyes are different, not only in color and visual acuity, but also in shape. A contact lens prescription includes measurements of your cornea’s size and shape so that your lenses will fit properly. A lens that is too flat or too curved could either fall out or cause an eye injury.

Good Contact Lens Care Prevents Eye Infections

Once you’ve purchased your lenses from a reliable vendor, it’s up to you to take good care of them and keep your risk of eye infections and other complications to a minimum. Here are a few important rules to follow for contact lens care and safety:

• Always wash your hands before inserting or removing contact lenses.
• Avoid rubbing your eyes while wearing contacts.
• Only use contact lens solution to clean and store your contacts. (Never water, and definitely never saliva.)
• Never reuse old solution  to clean or store your contacts.
• Only wear your contacts for the length of time recommended on the packaging or by the optometrist. Never longer. Don’t fall asleep before taking them out for the night!
• Follow the instructions on how often to replace your contacts.

If your costume lenses are scleral lenses (meaning they cover the entire surface of the eye, not just the iris), keeping them moisturized is particularly important. Stay hydrated while in costume and use contact-friendly eyedrops. Definitely don’t fall asleep wearing scleral lenses!

Come Get Your Contact Lens Prescription!

If you have any questions about good costume contact lens care and safety or would like our recommendations for trustworthy vendors, just give us a call! We might even have the perfect lenses for your costume available at our practice. We’d also love to see how your costume turns out when it’s done!

We wish all our patients a safe and spooky Halloween!
