Hi 60s again

[Greedyfly]

I recently posted a Q about what my B/F could wear to a 60s fancy dress. I have the outfit sorted out in my head but am having trouble finding some FLARED cords - 60s flared. I have tried Ebay but no luck - charitie shops are not forthcoming either. Any suggestions????

Ok greedyfly, are you handy with a sewing machine? Buy a cheap/charity shop pair of cords, drop waist if poss. Undo the side seams of the legs from the knees downwards & sew in a triangular insert to make the bottoms flared. The more contrasting the better - different fabric, flowered, paisley - as hideous as you like!! Hope you understand what I mean - ask someone who was 'there'. Have a good time!

Have you tried your local Operatic/Drama Society or any nearby colleges that have Drama on the curriculum? Don't know what else to suggest as you seem to have exhausted other avenues.
