I just went through something similar at Halloween. Last year I went as Norman Bates, and a friend of mine made an "old lady" looking dress as part of my costume. Well I was going to a different party this year so I thought I'd wear the Norman costume again. I guess I put the dress in a safe place, because it wasn't with any of my Halloween stuff. For the life of me I couldn't find it. I still don't know where it is.I went as a hippy intead. At least I started looking before Halloween. It would have been awful to have to throw a costume together the night of the party.
