Another attempt in finding items to turn into a costume was going south because the size range is more plentiful for medium and up. Smalls are virtually nonexistent in the thrift world. I was about to leave when it dawned on me. If you cannot find something that will fit in men's, it is worth a try to get a larger size in women's.
JACKPOT! I found many pieces that were ostentatious and showy. The prices are so inexpensive that it is difficult to pass up. Why spend a ridiculous amount of money on a cheap costume, when you can spend a little amount for an infinitely better end product.
The aisles are small and I found myself pushed against the clothes as people try to pass, but everyone was courteous. The staff were immensely helpful. Thank you for not questioning me when I asked about where the women's blazers were. Thank you again for not shooting me dirty looks when I was trying them on.
