patt1980 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 I don't have school age kids yet but know my brother is in the same boat with 3 costumes to find for his lot. I haven't been there but drove past a new fancy dress shop in Penge the other day so maybe give them a buzz and see if they can help. Good luck!www.fancythatnparty.co.uk/ Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/29820-wheres-the-nearest-fancy-dress-shop-world-book-day-arghhh/#findComment-622391 Share on other sites More sharing options...
bornagain Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 There is a massive fancy dress department on the top floor of Debenhams? (formerly Arding and Hobbes) in Clapham Junction. Quick to get there if you are on the overground.

GinaG3 Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 My daughter is going as Buzz Lightyear/Woody or a Pirate. Thats what we have already, not making a special trip, only found out this morning! Out of films yes, but technically there has been books after and its still all imagination/character.

nunheadmum Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Is it just me or have schools gone mad for dressing up days? There seem to be so many events now that the cynic in me wonders who is pushing the concept. For someone as uncreative as me, I can see someone making a lot of money from it over the years to come!

Polly D Posted March 6, 2013 Share Posted March 6, 2013 Can anyone lend me a fox mask (or outfit) for a 4yr old boy? He wants to be the fox from the gingerbresd man. I have been trying to change a bear head and tail into a fox but its not working, surprise surprise. Failing that, he might go to school in his wolf pyjamas with a gingerbread man cut out stuck to his nose...
