King Costume Plus Size: There When You Need It

Large people attending costume parties can make a royal impact if they wear a king costume plus size.

Attending a costume party? Do you need a costume to wear that will make you stand out from the rest, and gain the oohs and aahs at the dance floor? Some specialty shops carry every imaginable costume in all shapes, colors and sizes. A king costume plus size wouldn't be impossible, if you need one. The careful intricacies put into every one of these costumes for authenticity is an art in itself. Many studies are made before one costume could be finished perfectly depictive of the manner of dressing for a particular age.

A classic king costume would most likely come in loose-fitting velvet tunic with puffed sleeves and velvet strips trimmed in intricate gold, with rufflets at the neck and gold trimmings at the yoke and hem. The robe could come at knee-length or ankle-length, but it will always come it a royal color like royal blue, rich burgundy, or the most favored smooth and royal velvety purple. A feather tucked to a studded cloth head cover, a silk rope belt and leggings complete this royal costume.

King Henry VIII's costume is more overly elaborate. Its pomp style, color and flair speak of a royalty that had no regard for the commoner's lifestyle. The wide sleeves puffy up to the elbows and then the large gold-pendant necklace that hangs on the thickly wrapped neck up to just above the waistline speak of extravagance that is unspeakably carefree even at that time.

King Arthur's costume is, of course, a different cut altogether because although he has the title of "king," he is also a warrior. That is why his kingly garb includes a semi-breastplate vest, a shield and a sword or lance. Being a warrior-king, though, King Arthur is a bit on the trim side.

And who would mistake it for anything less than a "king's garb," easily characterized by the wide collars and cuffs, glittery vest, gold and/or diamond rings, tassels at the cuffs, flair pants in flaming red or flashy white, topped with a wide belt and sideburns? It is the most in-demand king costume plus size nowadays is-believe it or not-that of the King of Rock, Elvis Presley!

So go ahead and attend that costume party. Get that king costume plus size, and be discriminating in your choice of retailer for this. Make sure they only market authentic costumes. You will never go wrong.
