    Default Multicultural dressing up outfits

    What outfits do you have and where did you get them from? I only have a chinese dress and some headscarves from a mindees mum. I would love to have lots of outfits but as soon as you stick multicultural into a search engine the prices go right up.

    keep a lookout for 'sbs-educational' online when they have their sales - I have had a few bargains from them - have to watch the postage and VAT gets added too. Also GALT.

    ebay, charity shops (I also got cinderella, belle and snow white ), car boot sales?

    I got all mine in the SBS sale but to be honest the children make their own outfits up out of scarves, belts and all the bits I have in my box

    If any friends of family go on holiday ask them to get some outfits. We have a spanish outfit, and belly dancer type outfits from Turkey.

    sbs, ebay, charity shops and nurserysurplus

    Nurserysurplus.co.uk can be a bit hit and miss in what they have available but generally stuff works out to be a fraction of the price of other places

    I also have a rack to hang it on I have so much now. In the basket underneath I have loads of bits of material that we can drape, or wrap around, use as a cape etc etc, so doesn't all ahve to be specific, they are so good at making stuff up for themselves

    I've got a beautiful sari that I picked up in a charity shop. I've also got chinese outfits that my son picked up in china.

    If you know anyone handy with a sewing machine they could run you up something

    I wish people would stop posting links to that site - I HAVE to look, then end up spending a fortune
