Where can I find an old fashioned costume for The Music Man?

I am in the Music Man and need a costume by January 23 (dress rehearsals). I am playing a Pick-a-Little Lady and Amaryllis' sister, Sarah (a part that was not in the movie, the directors made up that part). Please tell me where I can find a costume for these parts (I"ve already checked eBay) HELP!

Go to google, search "costume shop" and "name of your city/town". Then click the link that says, "Local results for costume shop near *name of your city, state*". This will bring up an interactive map and listing of costume shops on the left. If you want costume shops specifically in relation to how close they are to your house, type your home address in at the top where it says "your city, state". Good luck.





Do you know what you're looking for, dress-wise? We did a production of the Music Man a couple years ago and I have pictures (I too was a pick-a-little lady). If you would like to see those pics, e-mail me.
Reply:The local thrift store/ Salvation Army is the place to go. Whenever we have plays, we do most of our shopping there. Clothes are older and super cheap. They also have many dresses and suits that can be used for different time periods





If you need something flashier, you can dye the dress. If you need something dingier, you can soak it in water with tea bags for several hours to a day.





If you need any additions or accessories you can try various costume stores or a fabric store. Costume stores will be expensive.





Look on the internet for pictures of other Music Man performances, and you already know what to shop for.
