Did you get your costume made? My DS needs one too, and someone I know on another board posted this suggestion that her dd's preschool made every year:

Get a plain white t-shirt (a little big), soak it in coffee for a few hours until it turns tan/brown, then get fabric paint and put a design around the top collar (zig zag all the way around, dots in the spaces, etc), take scissors and cut up the bottom and sleeves 3-4 inches so it's in strips.

I thought that sounded easy too. I bought the t-shirt yesterday, and some tan Rit dye instead of coffee (we don't drink coffee, the rest would be wasted) and I"m going to try it this afternoon.

There are also some great costume deals now at Party/Carnival type stores since Halloween is over - think Pocohontas.
