Long shot, but I'll ask...

So the only thing standing between me and my dream costume this Halloween was not being able to find pastel pink tartan.

Well, that and the fact that my wife wouldn't let me amputate and replace her legs with acrylic prosthetics. But other than that, finding pastel pink tartan.

I'm starting early for next year. Anyone know their tartans well enough to help me identify and/or find a source? I *really* want to appear as the Entered Apprentice next year.

    Well, if all else fails, you could just get red and blue fabric markers and some cheap pink fabric and go the DIY route...it might be tedious, but ya have a year to do it...

    This tartan was specially designed for the project by Linda LaBelle, the costume designer. She hand-dyed all the yarn and wove it herself. The colors represent Barney's flesh, the red and blue representing veins and arteries. It is a reconfiguration of the flesh-kilt from the operating table ordeal.

    so.... ummmm.... good luck finding it at a store... ya never know...
