onthego317 4 Posted July 10, 2011 I'm posting here out of desperation and thought that maybe somebody could help me. My husband and I are going to a surprise 70's themed birthday party on July 23. I have my costume but I cannot find one large enough for him. Does anyone have a 70's mens costume or a shirt in a sz 4x that they no longer need? I will be happy to pay for it and the shipping. I would love to be able to find a button down shirt that's "brady bunch" looking or even a satin or shimmery shirt. I'm thinking it could even be a ladies shirt as long as it would fit him. I'm not sure what size ladies shirt would equal a mens 4x. He's 59-60" arould his middle and he will not wear anything tight. I've searched all the local thrift shops & ebay and have not found anything. THANKS! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NJGirl32 43 Posted July 10, 2011 Okay, an easy way out is to simply tie dye a white T-shirt. It's really easy to do! He can go a a Jerry Garcia-type Grateful Dead=peace dude kinda of guy. Or you can pick up some fabric from the fabric store a make a simple long vest (if you wantto get fancy you can glue fringe at the bottom (using fabric glue. This would be really easy to sew even if you didn't have a sewing machine!
