pirate costume question

[mattmommy]

I bought my dh a pirate shirt on ebay. White satin with ruffles. Very cute, um, I mean handsome. Bought Dad a black one (dd is a bit of a slob). Well, now ds5 wants a white satin one like daddy. I've looked all over and can't find one in his small size. They only make that shirt in adult sizes. Does anybody know a seamstress that can custom make one without breaking the bank? I can only hot glue and not sew.

I'm still trying to have him settle on a costume on ebay.

Suggest to ds5 that according to the Pirates' Code you may not have two identically-attired pirates on the same family ship....Of course, these are only guidelines......

....try matching other elements of the costumes... hats? swords? eye patches, parrots on the shoulder, etc. ....

this...we went to Value Village at Halloween and got foamie type pirate hats for the kids, eye patches, a red bandana, plastic hook and then just dressed the kids in red t-shirts and jeans. You could do something like that too, or just get a 2nd hand white shirt and mess it up, make it look dirty like a bad scoundral pirate would
