Halloween
Halloween is coming up and I've been thinking about costume ideas. I'm pretty sure I've decided on the classic Tex Avery redhead. This would be especially awesome if I can get Evan to be the wolf. I'm pretty sure he won't, but I always have Ray as a back-up. I've always loved those cartoons, and the fact that the girl has a body that's pretty similar to mine. Plus, my health being as it is, I am not sure how much longer I can pull of a sexy halloween costume.
She has a couple different outfits. There's the sexy red and then the slightly classier white. There are also some other variations (red with a little bit of white detailing, a long red dress with a white coat, etc.) I tend to prefer red, just because it's a better color for me and white is so hard to keep clean. But the white one has gloves. And I'm having a doozy of a time finding a simple red dress or even a simple red bustier. Fredericks has this but of course, not available in my size. And this would be perfect, but it doesn't come in red. Trashy.com has one, but it's $200, which is way out of my price range.
I've looked in local stores, ebay, Victoria's secret, vintage stores, nothing. I wish I could sew. Any more suggestions, anybody?
