I shopped and shopped, but I did not come across any appropriate 50s style dresses. The closest I found was a $68 dress at a vintage store, which was far too expensive and too big on the top (fancy that). I don't quite sport the body that Miss Yvonne does, so I think I may have to opt out on that one and go as Penny.
But how do I make my eyes into pennies? Any suggestions? Brian is going as the King of Cartoons. The resemblance is uncanny.
At an rate, I may not have found a kick ass costume, but I found some great items in the kitchen section. I love this 70s style juice pitcher.
I also found one of these metal bowls that everyone seems to have on display in their houses nowadays...except mine was only $5. I'll either fill it with fruit, those wicker balls (Maggie would love to chew on) or YARN!
I can't wait to go back for more cheap kitchen finds! I want to find some old fashioned ceramic pie plates and a sugar/creamer next time.

Are there any costume rentals nearby? You might find something retro like that. It sounds like a lot of fun.
Yeah, I definitely think you look more like Penny than Miss Yvonne. You'll be so cute!
