Re: [h-cost] Hallowe'en - Alice in Wonderland
I sew costumes, if she's interested in having one made for her. I have pictures of other costumes I've made. I was a technical theatre major in college (which included costuming) and have worked with local community theatres for years; also Dickens and Renaissance fairs.

Re: [h-cost] Hallowe'en - Alice in Wonderland
Suzanne, The sad thing is that the Halloween shops all buy from the same distributors. A couple of years ago I went to the Halloween convention in Vegas...I am still seeing those same costumes in the marketplace. Last week on the TV show Whitney, her nurse sexy costume was shown in the new costumes fashion show.OTOH, the TV show is going to show her wearing a lot of these type costumes...so the sexy costume businesses should be selling a lot this year.

Re: [h-cost] Hallowe'en - Alice in Wonderland
When I read the original post, I thought it sounded like something that would have to be made to order. Sounds like you have a couple of alternatives to choose from, and enough lead time to have it done.
