Whoops! Walmart Offers 'Fat Girl' Halloween Costumes

By

It’s a big, "fat" Halloween publicity nightmare. This morning if you searched for a plus-size Halloween costume on Walmart.com, you would have seen the words "fat girl costumes" appear as the category.

Many people took to Twitter to express their outrage and shock over labeling costumes ranging from sexy maids, witches and flappers as "fat" instead of plus-size.

In fact, there was so much anger that the #fatgirlcostumes trended.

Here are just some of the ones directed at Walmart.
