Cheapest I can find so far is £39.99 from Sports direct (& I've ordered them so I know she has a pair - but we can return them unworn if we find a cheaper pair)

It's for a show now there's a surprise and are part of a longer list of necessaries

Would small mens pjs fit a size 8 teen? I think they would be too big

Try office or jones the bookmaker. Do they need to actually be converse, if not most cheap shoe shops do similar.

Primark were doing Converse knockoffs for about 7 quid last year; not sure about now, but worth a look?

Pantsalive · 11/05/2015 15:59

I don't suppose slip on white plimsolls would do? Tesco have them upto an adult size 6 for £6, here

LIZS · 11/05/2015 15:59

H&M do fab pretend converse, v cheap and comfortable too. Both my DC have a pair. I think they are about £6 but I got them for £3 in the sale. Hope you find some!

Pantsalive · 11/05/2015 16:45

Floral satin pyjamas for £4.99 here. Come in a small.

Or do they need to look like men's?

Pantsalive · 11/05/2015 16:47

Black, white, pink check here, size 8.

MrsNextDoor · 11/05/2015 16:49

I got DD some in Primark last week.

Pantsalive · 11/05/2015 17:00

The floral pyjamas are only £3.99 here. They're pink, blue and red, so definitely not pastel.

balletgirlmum · 11/05/2015 17:01

Primark is your best bet.

balletgirlmum · 11/05/2015 17:03

Whilst we are on the subject 1940s style outfit anyone but needs to be very very fkexible as its for Modern with lots of floor work.

SoupDragon · 11/05/2015 17:05

I agree that Primark is usually good for this kind of thing.

DS2 is about 5ft 5, very slim and fits a Primark men's size XS or S.
