I'm wondering if anyone knows of any cheap plus size 50s waitress costumes for halloween? I've been searching the internet non-stop lately. I just don't that kind of money to drop on a costume. A friend of a friend is making me this awesome apron . . . but that's all I have so far. Suggestions to make my own costume definitely welcomed, as well. I don't have much money to work with but all ideas or internet links helpful! I reallllly appreciate it!!!

Internet link for 50’s waitress plus size costume You can also find a pink colored shirt, and pink skirt somewhere I suppose and make your own hat.
Instructions
UNIFORM: Cut the apron pieces, collar, and cuffs from the white felt (diagram 1). Using the hot glue, put the apron pieces together and attach lace trim to all the pieces. Glue a cuff on the outside of each T-shirt sleeve, then fold it up. Glue on the collar and the buttons.
Fold the colored felt and glue on lace trim to make the hat (diagram 2).
Turn the sneakers into saddle shoes by coloring them with the marker. Secure the hat to your child’s head with the bobby pins. Have her put on the skirt.
TRAY: To make the ice-cream soda, wrap the shoelace around a clump of cotton balls, then slip it into the cup. Glue on the pom-pom and a short snip of shoelace as a cherry stem. Glue the cup and napkins to the plate. Make a hand strap by sticking together 2 lengths of duct tape. Tape the strap to the tray’s underside.
