Yeah, But cheapest quote so far is £1500.
Yes, but you were talking about charging £400/day for appearing at schools. Even if you halved that, the thing would pay for itself pretty quickly.
I think Bigfella is intimating that he would struggle to lay his hands on that kind of money upfront.
Indeed!

Oh no... how's your weight loss going? Is it going quick enough you could fit into it in a couple of months?

No - its far too small.
Unfortuantly I used to play American Football and am never going to lose the chest and shoulders I had playing that.

Hmmm looks like you're going to have to make one.
There may be patterns for one in the sewing pattern books like Butterwick and Vogue, as they have large fancy dress sections.
You'd then just need to buy the fabric (soft furnishing fabric would be ideal) and find a local dressmaker to make it. Some one with a theatre wardrobe background would be good.
I used to hire from the BBC costume department, but I don't think they ever had sales - though I know other costumiers have. Oh and there's Angels and Bermans. They have loads of stuff they sell - but again size may be a problem, but might be worth a look.
