Sigh

[hollyking]

Sigh. I saw loree's post about that great dress so I started looking around for something for me to wear to tithonium's birthday. A friend pointed me to Drac-in-a-Box and The Dark Angel. Two sites that have a lot of things I want but aren't in my size.

Does anyone know of a place a big guy could get clothes that don't look like my Mom bought them or I'm 95 and headed for the golf course?

Or if you know someone who makes clothes like this and wouldn't mind making a few bucks I can pay.

It won't help you get anything by the party, but I'd suggest stopping by some of the costuming panels at norwescon. There are frequently a number of pros and skilled amateurs in attendance.

Here are a couple of places, the first I have not actually dealt with yet, but know someone who has and they like them

This place sells 501 shrink to fits in big sizes as well

JC Penny has some decent stuff in the stores as well.

I might be able to. Do you just want the shirt and frock coat or do you need pants as well?

I did some research. I have done a frock coat before, but never on a plus sized person. I have made other plus sized garments, however
Doing some patter research

If your lovely wiff could do some measurements for me, its quite possible I could alter these patterns to work.
