Needed: Plaid Skirt

Anybody know of any stores that have plaid skirts (short) in right now?

Nothing like throwing together your costume last minute!

I haven't seen any plaid skirts in the major department stores, but I'm sure you'll find a ton of them at the used goods stores -- Goodwill, Savers, Salvation Army. I've created many costumes because of them.

Dani, if you had contacted me earlier, I coulda shipped my old naughty Catholic school girl costume to you!

That's always a crowd pleaser.

If you have an adult store near you, they usually have naughty school girl outfits for fetish costumes. A few of my friends bought their Halloween costumes from adult stores since the costumes are sexier and shorter.

I just went there, they had a few skirts, but they were only in L and XL- the L was at least 5 inches too big in the waist! I think i'll use that as a last resort... i can always staple it or something.

Good idea about the adult store too.... but that might end up being my very last resort- going to the adult store..... would make for an interesting story though.

thanks everyone for your help!

Definally try either Wet Seal or Contempo Cusuals. I worked there last season and it was packed full with plaid skirts. I just went in one store the other day (Wet Seal) and they had a ton on sale for about 50% off. I bought one when i worked there and it was super short but cute!!

Good Luck with your costume!

I would definitely try a uniform store...otherwise I work at Limited and we have quite a few plaid kilts in right now that you might actually be able to wear again.

wow, thanks guys! i'm about to go down to the Waterfront, which has almost every store imaginable, including Wet Seal. Also i'll check out Target and wherever else.
Thanks again!

Thank you so much for suggesting wet seal, that's where I ended up getting it from. Ended up being on clearance for like $8. Super short, but it works for the evening!
