Spike this costume with a pair of heels, red fish net hose, and pitch fork, and you'll find your sex appeal. The red velour dress is accented with sheer sleeves and a "jeweled" broach. The horns come with the costume.

Want a costume that is pretty but a little more tame? Then you might like this sweet pink fairy costume. With coordinating headpiece and wings, your outfit will be complete. And, who knows, maybe the fairy will sprinkle a little bit of labor dust while you are out and about on Halloween Night.

3. Plundering Pirate

So maybe cantering about in a short dress and heels is less than appealing to you in your present condition. You might feel more comfortable embracing your pirate side. This costume comes with maternity pants with attached boot flaps, a gold pirate-inspired top with attached lace-up vest, hat and belt. Just add an "Arrghh!" and an "Aye, matey!" to your conversation, and you'll give Captain Jack Sparrow a run for his money.

4. Pregnant Nun

Pricegrabber

Why not try for a costume made to instigate laughter rather than fear? A pregnant nun costume might do just that. Please note however, this particular costume isn't marketed toward pregnant adults. Perhaps if you ditch the padded stomach and stick with the full coat robe, habit, and gloves, you'll be quite comfy.

5. Wonderful Witch

For a classic Halloween costume, nothing can beat a witch costume. The black velour dress is brightened with an emerald green yoke, sheer sleeves, and matching hat. Find yourself a broomstick and head on out for a festive Trick or Treat night.
