Walmart’s Fat Girl Costumes

By Daily Dot | Tuesday, October 28, 2014

There’s no harm in marketing plus-size Halloween costumes to the admittedly overweight American public, but when a retailer creates a section on its website for “Fat Girl Costumes,” it’s just begging for a backlash. That was the latest screw-up by big-box behemoth Walmart, which has made more than its share of dumb decisions with respect to All Hallows’ Eve and the personhood of women.

A Jezebel reader shopping online was directed to the URL “www.walmart.com/c/kp/fat-girl-costumes,” where she discovered a selection of getups for the more rotund reveler, including “Saloon Girl,” “Chambermaid,” and, of course, “Convict Corset.” (Plus-size men, meanwhile, will no doubt want to dress as the Tooth Fairy or someone of a different ethnicity.)
