Jack Skellington Costume Help

As I have mentioned before, my DD is doing her first solo in this years Ice Show. Her character is Jack Skellington. We just returned from the dress maker and are having sever sticker shock (like three times what I thought it would cost).

We seem to be having no luck finding a pre-built costume on-line and were hoping that someone here might have suggestions where to look.

My DD is a medium to smallish 14 year old, slender, your basic skater.

Thanks so much,
-harry

Harry -

Have you tried ebay? I can't imagine where else to look, but I will be off from work and starting my vacation on Wednesday. I'll do a little surfing for you. Two sets of eyes can't hurt. I'll let you know if I come up with anything.

They had them on e-bay before Halloween. I would suggest to look there as well.

Good luck!
:)

Teresa,

Looking for his halloween costume, the tux looking one.

Dana & teatah14,

We have been watching ebay, no joy. We have found one costume, but it is an adult size. We are talking to our neighbor to see if she might be able to alter it to fit.

The hunt goes on,
-harry

Dana,

We borrowed a tux with tails from one of my sons friends and our neighbor is coming over tonight to see if she can use it as a pattern to make one for Carolyn. That seems to be the best bet so far.

Keep your fingers crossed,
-harry

The ice show was this past weekend and I wanted to post a quick picture of Carolyn in her Jack Skellington costume. We are all very proud of her, she really put her heart into "selling" her performance to the crowd and was able to land her axel on all but one attempt ( and she didn't miss that one by much ).

She is now resting for a week or so, icing down the sore muscles and bruises. Anyone who thinks ice skating is easy needs to see the different colors her butt and knees turned this year :nervous .

Thanks for all the help and support,
-harry
