ISO pink dress, brick & mortar store (Eleven from Stranger Things)

Anonymous
DD (age 14) is attending a costume party and wants to dress as Eleven (from Stranger Things). We have the shoes, socks, jacket, wig, Eggo's box as well as a Peter Pan faux collar (thanks, Amazon!) but not the pink dress. No, I don't have the time to sew a dress from a pattern. #BadMomAward

Any ideas on where in the northern VA/DC area to look for a pink dress tonight/tomorrow?

Not exact but good enough?

Thrift store? Or eBay? It's an 80's dress so that's where I'd look.

Oops, just saw that you said brick and mortar. Is check thrift stores. There's a unique and value village next to each other on New Hampshire Ave in silver spring off the beltway.

There's that crazy smocked dress store in Montgomery Mall-- is it still there? They might have something.

Otherwise, Etsy.

Thanks, all! I will check out thrift stores. Not sure my teen can fit in the one at Nordstrom.

And SEVENTY NINE DOLLARS for an Etsy dress?!? I'm obviously in the wrong line of work.

Some people really want to commit to the part...
