My dd has come home from school today with a letter saying she's been cast as a 'star' in the nativity play and can I provide a star outfit by monday!!!

Any ideas? Easy ones for someone whose sewing skills are confined to buttons!

Matalan have star costumes.

My dd is also a star on monday - although, I assume to make it easier they have said just to wear clothes with stars on. However, it would have been easier to go to matalan and buy a costume

I saw them in Asda Home a few weeks ago. Tried one on DD in fact, she was not impressed!

has she got anything white/silver? i'd just cover enormous cardboard stars in tinfoil and have her wear them sandwich board stylee.

DS1 was a star once, he dressed in gold/yellow and made a headband out of card and painted it gold/yellow and stuck a star on the front of it.

Asda have them for £5. They are v good. DD has one. Think Tesco and Sainsbos do them also.

I've seen one, I think it was in Sainsburys or possibly Asda - maybe phone around before setting off.

Having said that when my DD was the Christmas star, she wore a white tutu, white tights and a sort of silver, star head dress tiara thingy from Claires accessories. That was at age 4. It was so cuuuuuuute

Oh I'm too late. Someone on here recommended Asda for me when I was having the exact same meltdown a couple of weeks ago and I wanted to pass on the favour to you!

MMT - thank you!

I've only been active on this site a couple of times but when I have it's made me feel like Snow White with a lot of little cuddly helpers swarming around me trying to help!

It's very, very, helpful and comforting.

I got one off Ebay a week or so ago, the seller had a few of them I think. I had same as Wheelybug, request for clothes with stars on them, I figured it was easier to just buy a star costume.

"Just whistle while you work - tra la la la la la la" IT'S TRUE! I do feel like that.

Maybe my description is a bit too icky. Perhaps it should be more ..... I don't know, can't think of anything else!

Charlie's Angels, The A-Team, Ghostbusters, Wonderpets !???!

Anyhow... you are like guardian angels coming to the rescue to reassure me in my times of need!

And I'm not usually sentimental, I'm actually a hard faced 'owd witch'!
