ORANGE TIGHTS for under $10? Size 12-24 months (appx.) I am so ticked, when I ordered a costume yesterday and saw that the orange tights were $10 more, I thought I would easily be able to find them cheaper somewhere else. Guess I am wrong! If I paid the $10 yesterday, there'd be no extra shipping. But now, the shipping will be $7.95!! So no way do I want to pay nearly $18 for a pair of little kid tights! I have checked ebay and a few other sights, but I will still be paying over $10. Uggh. (Not to mention that solid orange or solid burnt orange tights near an 18 month size are very hard to find!!) Thanks in advance for any help...

I found this sight by googling child orange tights http://www.welovecolors.com/Shop/KidsSolidColorNylonTights.htm You may also want to look locally at a halloween shop.

Sewmommy, thanks. I did find that site too, but when you add in the 4.95 shipping, the price goes over $10. I think my best bet is a local halloween shop. But i fear they won't have such a small size... Why do they charge so much for shipping for an item that can fit in an envelope and is so light???

And where (not including ebay) can I find orange shoes or sandals in a toddler size 5 or 6? (Though I bet I can spray paint a pair of thrift store shoes so the shoes one is not as hard...)

Julie, I think you're going to end up paying over $10 at a halloween shop as well....everything is expensive there...novelty and all.

Julieboo, don't know about your area, but out here a couple of our thrift stores become costume stores in October. They have already started. This is new stuff, lots of costumes, lots of accessories.

Hmmm, I will check it out, but I think our thrift stores stay thrift stores, but do sell costumes, etc. Lemme know if you see any orange tights (size 18-24 mos) or any orange shoes or sandals (size 5 or 5.5)...

Heck, if I got some kind of white cloth shoes, I could probably dye them together w/the tights!!

Julie, I made a tiger costume for my son when he was two and I bought a pair of white tights and dyed them orange. They were perfect and cheap.

Looking for help!!! I have a new quest!!! I want to buy this costume. Can you computer sleuths help me find the best (read CHEAPEST) place to order this from?!! Please keep shipping charges in mind. So far the best is from buycostumes.com for $36.99 plus 4.99 shipping... Can anyone find it cheaper than that? THanks for your time in advance! It is called either: Universal Studios Monsters Wolf Boy Child OR Wolf Boy Child Here is a photo:

Julie, RE: Orange Tights: I had this same problem a year or so ago. I found them at Wal-Mart of all places in the infant department at Halloween. I don't think I'll be using the ones I have, I could send them, I guess.

I am sure they are 18-24 months. Is the adoption all final, done deal? I have been wondering.

Can anyone help me find a good place? I am looking for a mother's ring (or even a sweethearts ring. I found the following samples at a plave called limoges.com. I'd order from there, except it seems these rings only come in sterling silver. I have heard that is not a good metal for a ring you'd wear every day. So what i am looking for is a ring that would have a birthstone PLUS engraved names. TIA!!!
