/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Hi /cgl/, I'm trying to get a costume together and I've hit a snag. I apologize if this is a simple fix that I'm missing, but I've been looking around for several hours now to no avail. (I also apologize for fucking up and making a new thread my first go-round, I didn't catch that this sticky was here.)

I'm trying to put together a Fire Mario costume, and despite seeing pictures of several people in red overalls, I've only managed to find two red overalls for sale, one without the button-hooks, which instead has black plastic clips, and one that is from a "hip UK" site, and only available in four small sizes. (Capping at a 32.)

I know that the original Fire Mario color scheme had white overalls with a red shirt, but I was hoping to do the more modern one, with the red overalls, and white shirt. At this point which option is better: going for the classic suit, with the white overalls, or buying white overalls and trying to dye them red? The matierial is 100% Cotton Painter's Drill, which I'm not sure is easy to dye with.

Any advice/input would be appreciated, thanks.
