I got a red plaid shirt there myself, on a whim, last weekend:) I don't really think it's that close but it's the best I was able to find easily.

Don't get me started on the things I've gotten there on a whim. And then that leads to "well, since I *have the red plaid shirt, now I need..." :) Those bomber jackets were looking mighty tempting, but I couldn't remember Amy's well enough to know if they were close.

I found a s/s red plaid shirt (Converse) in the men's section last summer that's not bad at all, except of course that it is s/s, and may have one too many colours in it. But I'm not doing TIA/DotM, but TRF/TAP, so it's doing okay. :)

As for the bomber jackets, the copper-colour ones would do for The Vampires of Venice, and the brown ones would do for Victory of the Daleks, but neither has the furry collar. Check the Amy breakdowns that are on the profile/user info page of the comm for some good info, esp. on the jackets. :)

The furry part was what I couldn't remember. This is good news - it doesn't lead me to add another costume! ;)

I was just in Target the other day, and missed both of these! The scarf is just cute (I have the alt from Amazon that maypanic found for us), so don't need it. :) But the shirt looks great! Is is jrs, missy, or what? Thanks in advance. :)

The shirt was in... actually, just on the edge between jrs & missy. My store didn't have my size, so I have to try another. I missed the Amazon scarf, *sniff* so I'm still looking. Also still looking for a better Noa Noa dress alt than the $5 thrift store one I found, if you happen to know of anything? Ta!

Thanks for the info! I haven't looked for the dress, since I got one last year, but it wouldn't hurt to check ebay like crazy, esp. ebay.co.uk . There were a number of sites last year that had the dress; I'll have to look back at postings from last year, and tag them with the 'episode: night terrors' tag and that will help those who are still looking.

Yeah, I've been looking & will keep trying. Just curious. Thanks!
