I have a challenge, ladies. For Halloween, I am going to be Tippi Hedren's character, Melanie Daniels, from The Birds. I need a 1960s-style suit or dress, preferably for less than $50, in a size 16 or XL. It can't be black because the birds will not show up well against black. I'd prefer a light green like in the movie, but I'm willing to go for any lighter color that will allow the birds to show up well. The dress does not have to be exact, just call to mind the right time period and in the general style. Here's a photo of Tippi from the movie for those who haven't seen it (or haven't seen it in a long time):
I found something, at http://www.chickdowntown.com/viewproduct.asp?ID=146079&source=shopstyle, but it's too small and it's $400, which is insane. If I find something awesome, I will totally wear it again just as a regular dress (without the birds, of course) - which is why I don't just want to buy a cheap crappy costume dress. I've found another maybe that's $70, at http://www.modcloth.com/store/ModCloth/Womens/Dresses/Solid/Dress+Side+Story, but it's a bit more than I want to spend and not quite the same silhouette. It doesn't actually have to be vintage - just look the part (the dress from ModCloth is new, it's just in a retro style). Help? Advice? I'm on a timeline, obvs, and I'd appreciate any help anyone can give!!

Okay, so you didn't have $932,178 to spend on Audrey Hepburn's iconic Breakfast at Tiffany's little black dress. Now you have a chance to bid on the hot pink cocktail dress she also wore in the movie and it is estimated to sell for a lot cheaper. Christie's is holding a Film and Entertainment Memorabilia auction on May 30 in which they are selling this dress along with a variety of other film memorabilia including props from Laurel and Hardy.
