Mrs. Potts Costume Needed

[islandhoppers]

We are looking for a Mrs. Potts costume to be used in a school production.

Does anyone have any ideas on where to buy a used costume or if there is a better place to post this question?

Thanks for your help!

I don't know how much help I can be...

My son absolutely HAD to be Aladar last Halloween and it's a discontinued costume. I went on ebay and found several, in his size and in good shape. It took me a long time to win one (I'd only spend just so much including shipping), but it was fantastic when received. You just may want to try there. Not Halloween time, but you never know.

My hometown HS just put on Beauty & the Beast this past weekend. The Mrs. Potts costume was a flowered dress w/ a large skirt and one arm stuffed to look like a spout (Chip was a "hat" that was a cup with corresponding flowers and there was also a sugar bowl costume for during "Be Our Guest"). We rented the costumes from several different places - including a large local high school that has its own costume department.

I would call other local high schools drama departments to see if they have put on the musical and where they got their costumes.

There are also costume rental stores (at least around here) - I'd call them - if they don't carry the B&B costumes, they may be able to order them or give you the name of another company that does carry them.

Do you already have all the other characters' costumes? Where did you get them - maybe they have some hints for stores in your area? What "style" are the other characters' costumes (you may want to keep continuity in the type of stylization of the costumes)?

Here is a link to an ebay listing of a costume (not the style our production used).

Here's a picture of another style of the Mrs. Potts costume (closer to the style we used).

Hope that helps (a bit)!

Check the Disney Direct site. (OLD DISNEY STORE) I saw that costume recently. It was even on sale.
