Costume SOS - Ladies costumes size 14-16 needed

Auckland Chimera
#1

Hi guys,

We have a lot of lovely new people turning up this Chimera, and two of the ones I’m communicating with are having some costume difficulties.

Can anyone assist with lending a red dress that is similiar to the Asterix character Bacteria’s? The lady is a size 14 of petite stature but larger bust size. She has an apron but has had no luck with a dress. She is also in need of something to wear for playing a mafiosa wife in Round 6.

Another girl is in need of an orange or red jumpsuit/coverall type thing for the Gordian Knot. She is a size 16.

Please urgently help, if you can!

Thanks,
Anna

I have some orange long sleeved overalls left over from civil defence somewhere, will try find them and let you know.
Um, what does a mafioso’s wife wear?

Assuming it’s for Scummit, the Mafioso Wife costume is just something fairly glamourous. 20s-ish is good, but any vaguely posh and pretty dress will do.

That’d be fantastic!

Okay mafioso wife dress - I have a red dress, sweetheart neckline, sleeveless, split on one side up to mid thigh. Has matching jacket with lace sleeves.
Think Jessica Rabbit but not slutty :slight_smile:

And by Red dress for Bacteria, they possibly mean something like this picture (sorry I don’t have one):

I have a set of orange overalls and a set of red overalls for caving. I don’t know if they’re size 16, but I find them both roomy. I’ll bring them along as well.

Okay
Orange overalls - dug out of cupboard and washed, it has civil defence patches on the arms, am making black arm bands to cover them
Red mafioso wife’s dress - was drycleaned after last time I wore it, that was awhile ago, but should be fine
