Dressing up sets

[tubismybub]

I want to have dressing up box for DS ith a selection of bits and pieces that he can use rather than one fancy dress costume. he loves scarfs and hats and ballerina skirts but I can only seem to find individual outfits which would work out expensive to by individually. Any ideas?

Try going to charity shops - you can pick up lots of stuff cleaply there. Also if you can sew its relatively easy to make something basic.

Charity shops are a good idea, the sheep costume I made for the nativity was rather questionable though

DD and DS's dressing up box is made of all sorts-

bought outfits and wigs
some of my old clothes
simple sparkly skirts/tops made from remnants of material
old bags, scarves, hats from parents/friends/charity shops etc
bits and pieces like Red Noses, masks (home-made and bought) etc

Its amazing how creative they can be with bits and pieces

I bet ds doesn't mind though does he. My two love the stuff i have made for them and its seriously questionable DD bless her told her teacher last week that i am really good at sewing but sadly she is wrong.

Where did you find wigs betty?

The wigs were either very cheap from a party/joke shop or I think were free on the front of a Tweenies magazine or something.

They're only ones that are made up of strands of silver (disco stylee!) or sparse fake pink hair. Nothing expensive.

Here you go -lots of cheap wigs from Amazon.

Scroll down for the tinselly strand ones for £1.99

Fab, thank you for the link.
