Anyone seen any red & white striped tops?
Permalink Closed

For Halloween I'm doing a Wenda costume (Where's Waldo's GF) and if I don't have to buy the costume kit for it, that'd be awesome. This means I need to find a red & white striped top on my own.....This has become an impossible task at this point; I've scoured SO many websites at this point, with no luck.

Sooooo, seen any? Either in-store or online is fine....TIA!

Tried there already too *Sigh*

I hate when I'm looking for something specific, because that means I'll never find it

I did see this one on ebay, but maybe it's not what you're looking for since you said you were already on ebay:

http://cgi.ebay.com/Casual-loose-white-and-red-stripes-affordable-shirt-top_W0QQitemZ370255792053QQcmdZViewItemQQptZUS_CSA_WC_Shirts_Tops?hash=item5634f707b5&_trksid=p3286.c0.m14#ht_4446wt_886

It looks loose in the picture but it's "one size" so if you look at the measurements maybe it wouldn't be too baggy?

I also found these DIY instructions:

http://vimeo.com/4244744

If you're being a little more uh, loose with the costume, these are close but not exactly right:

OK - I'll double post the same comment on two threads - try Like.com It's a search engine where you hone in on certain visual details to keep refining your search for something.  I use it when I see something on a girl (or celebrity) I want to buy, but I don't know the name brand.  It's pretty cool.

Thanks for all the suggestions ladies!

I'm having a secondary idea.....what do you think of doing an Evil Wenda instead, and going black & white? I'd only have to buy the thigh highs & hate then. I already own this shirt:

I love what you put together above but I think you should stick with red and white, since thats really Waldo's calling card. I found some:

^^I'll potentially be getting that first shirt, but I'm not sure yet, just based on the fact that I'm not a fan of the sleeve length. We'll see though!

CarrieS, what style are you looking for? I have a white-and-red striped top that I bought from Old Navy last year that I was actually gonna selll on eBay because I never wore it.

It's a trapeze style top with 3/4-length kind of bell sleeves. Let me know if you'd like to see a picture.

I actually found a picture of the top online, only mine of course is RED stripes, not black. J



Just make me an offer if you want it. It's size XS, runs a little big due to the style.

Lol, I actually Googled earlier, saw that, and wondered if that was it smile.gif....Do you have any measurements of the shirt at all? Not sure an XS would fit over my bazoombas!

Wish I had that problem! The chest measures 36" right under the armpit, but since there's some soft pleating along the neckline, it can accommodate more. The length of the shirt is 23".

Hmm, I'm going to think about it, since I think I'd rather have thicker stripes.  I do like that shirt though and am contemplating buying it for non-costume wear, lol
