That sounds like a fantastic video idea! The "Alt Pinterest Outfits" trend, which includes styles like cottagecore, dark academia, goblincore, grunge, and gothic, can sometimes be challenging to translate to plus-size bodies due to sizing availability, but it's totally doable and often looks amazing.

Since I am an AI and cannot physically browse a live video, here is a suggested structure, list of popular aesthetics, and key items often featured in a "Trying Alt Pinterest Outfits: Plus Size Edition" video, based on common trends:

Video Concept: Trying Alt Pinterest Outfits (Plus Size Edition)

Introduction & Concept

    Hook: "I've been scrolling Pinterest and saving all these super cool alternative outfits, but can we make them work for a size 18/20/etc.? Let's find out!"

    Challenge: Acknowledge the struggle of finding these specific aesthetics in inclusive sizing (e.g., structured corsets, pleated mini skirts, graphic tees that fit well).

    Goal: Recreate 4-5 distinct Alt Pinterest aesthetics using clothes already owned, pieces thrifted, or items bought from size-inclusive alt/goth brands.

The Outfits to Recreate (Popular Alt Aesthetics)

Here are a few diverse "Alt" aesthetics that are highly popular on Pinterest:

1. Dark Academia (The Intellectual Vibe)

    Pinterest Vibe: Tweed, cable knit, leather satchels, old libraries, earth tones, preppy.

    Plus Size Pieces:

        Bottoms: Black or gray wide-leg trousers or a pleated midi/maxi skirt (more comfortable than a mini).

        Top/Layer: An oversized cable-knit sweater or a button-down shirt layered under a cropped V-neck vest (a huge trend).

        Accessories: Thick belt, oxford shoes/chunky loafers, long trench coat or blazer, sheer black tights.

2. Cottagecore / Fairycore (The Soft, Ethereal Vibe)

    Pinterest Vibe: Flowing dresses, embroidery, ruffles, picnics, soft colors, nature.

    Plus Size Pieces:

        Main Piece: An empire waist midi or maxi dress with puff sleeves or a square neckline. Look for florals, ginghams, or solid pastels.

        Layer: A chunky knit cardigan or a cropped bolero/shrug.

        Accessories: A woven basket bag, delicate gold jewelry, lace or patterned socks with Mary Jane shoes/sandals, ribbons in the hair.

3. E-Girl / Pop-Punk (The Edgy, Modern Grunge Vibe)

    Pinterest Vibe: Chains, fishnets, checkers, chunky boots, graphic prints, heavy eyeliner.

    Plus Size Pieces:

        Bottoms: A mini skirt with chains/buckles (paired with opaque tights or fishnets) or ripped fishnet stockings under distressed black jeans.

        Top: An oversized band/graphic tee (tucked, knotted, or belted) or a mesh/fishnet long sleeve layered under a black cami or a fitted crop tee.

        Accessories: Chunky platform boots (e.g., Doc Martens style), layered silver chains/chokers, spiked belt, colorful hair clips/dye.

4. Goth / Witchcore (The Dramatic, All-Black Vibe)

    Pinterest Vibe: Black velvet, lace, corsets, flowing silhouettes, silver hardware, occult themes.

    Plus Size Pieces:

        Main Piece: A black velvet or lace-trim maxi dress with a dramatic slit or handkerchief hem.

        Layer/Structure: A harness belt or a plus-size friendly faux leather corset/waist cincher worn over a top or dress.

        Accessories: Fishnet tights, a large sun hat or hood, chunky rings, black lipstick, and a faux leather jacket or long duster cardigan.

Tips for a Great "Plus Size Alt" Video

    Focus on Fit: Talk about why certain cuts (like A-line or empire waists) work better on a curvier figure for a specific aesthetic.

    Accessory Power: Emphasize how accessories (chains, belts, harnesses, hats) are the key to transforming basics into an "Alt" look, which can be easier to find in plus sizes.

    Shout-out Inclusive Brands: Mention where you got the size-inclusive pieces (Torrid, Killstar, Hot Topic's plus section, independent Etsy shops, ASOS Curve, etc.) to help viewers shop the looks.

    Confidence is Key: The final takeaway should be about owning the look! The true "Alt" aesthetic is about self-expression, not size.
