Halloween is right around the corner, and, if you don't already have one, you're likely flipping through thrift shop racks trying to find or make a costume that will help you stand out at this year's parties. Latinas enjoy a good joke or scare as much as the next girl, but if you go with one of these options, you'll be the only one laughing. Here, 11 offensive "Latina" costumes you shouldn't wear this Halloween or ever , because, as I hope you already know, we're a culture, not a costume.
Sexy Illegal Alien The designers of this ensemble found a way to perpetuate multiple racist and sexist Latina stereotypes, from the short dress "Latinas are so sexy" and sombrero "You know, they're all Mexican" to the handcuffs "Criminals! Oh wait, it's also so hilarious that she's undocumented and, thus, isn't afforded basic human rights.
So funny! Eye Candy Matador Reducing every woman challenging the deep-rooted sexism in the male-dominated bullfighting tradition to eye candy is not a good idea. The former represents young, working-class Latinas usually found in the Southeast, and the latter is more closely linked to gang culture and typically reside in the Southwest, but both tend to face racism, sexism, and classism.
In other words, making a mockery of these real-life identities is a jerk move. Our fabric qualities allow you to be 1" or 2. Measure the fullest part around your bust 2. Measure the narrowest part of your natural waistline 3. Measure the fullest part of your hips. We use quality, signature fabrications that have an inbuilt stretch to mould to your beautiful unique shape. Never over the head.
Our styles are tapered at the hem to give that beautiful hourglass silhouette. Trust us, step in! You will need help to get the zipper up. The garment will seem super tight but once it is up you will feel the Nookie Fit in full effect. Think of it as shapewear in a dress! This lovely Senorita costume is a short, sleeveless dress featuring a rib cage printed at the front with fancy detailing such as a red printed heart, flowers and coloured fantasy pattern.
Realistic flowers are applied to the neckline of the dress. The bottom of the dress is made of three layers of ruffled satin-look material: the first layer is red with violet ribbon decoration, the second is yellow with a green ribbon, and the third is pink with yellow ribbon.
All the layers have black lacy trim decoration. For your comfort, the costume closes at the back with a zipper. The stockings are thigh-high, black with skeleton floral printing, fabric-flower decoration with coloured ribbons. A pair of black lacy sleevelets with red elasticated ribbons and flower decoration is also included, as well as a black lace and red satin ribbon chocker. The chocker has a plastic purple rose with a hot pink skull hanging from it. A double layered black lace veil is also included: it comes on a flower-decorated headband and goes down to the shoulders.
Please bear in mind that you should not wear the tights included with this costume until you have tried everything else on for size and are satisfied with your purchase.
This is because we cannot accept return of the costume if the tights have been worn — this is a hygiene issue, see delivery and return page for further details.
