Don't be "that asshole," and you probably won't be mistaken for him. =) (If you're still worried, a good rule of thumb is to explicitly compliment the craftspersonship of the costume rather than how well its wearer fills it out--that way, you're very clearly complimenting skill and quality of construction rather than appearance.) @Michael - There’s a really big difference between “Nice costume” and “It’d look better on my floor.” Don’t be “that asshole,” and you probably won’t be mistaken for him. =)
