I am about to go through the “plus-size” carnival costumes for Saint Lucia Carnival 2023, but I prefer to call it “full” or “more coverage.” The reality is even leaner women prefer more coverage for various reasons.
You can find plus-size carnival costumes with almost any band you look. Â Besides, Carnival is for all shapes, sizes, and COMFORT levels. Â The reality is body shape doesn’t dictate what someone should wear at Carnival. Comfort level does! I am honestly not a fan of labeling a costume style with someone’s size. I write this blog referencing “plus-size” because it is how people look for information. Â Just know that if you are a plus-size woman looking for a carnival costume, you can wear whatever you want. Â You can read my thoughts on this topic here.Â

At any rate, Â let’s check out the options for this year!

Xuvo Carnival
**AWM’s PICK!** Xuvo Carnival’s theme this year is “Down the Rabbit Hole.” The costumes were designed inspired by the “Alice in Wonderland” theme. My favorite plus-sized costume design is “Wonderland” by Alejandro Gomez. I also love Xuvo because you can choose a carnival costume with more coverage and wear the big feathers. Â If you want to check out Xuvo’s costume options for Saint Lucia Carnival 2023, click here. Â I played mas with Xuvo last year, and it was a VIBE. Â I can’t wait to see them again this year. Â Check out the band launch video below.
