To me it looks like a black, strapless evening dress with tentacles at the bottom. If you can get the dress, you might be able to sew, staple, or tape some wide black ribbon or fabric strips. If you want to go from there, you might be able to get some music wire to hold them out so they don' just trail behind you.
Maybe blue body paint and a white wig.

Yeah, get an oversized black strapless dress so you can stuff it to be fat like Urs.
Use the ribbons and wires from the 1st answerer's idea and get a Don King wig for the hair.
Good luck sounds like fun!

actually homemade costumes are better and you can get most of the materials from either thrift stores or Walmart
