I'm looking to purchase an adult dalmatian costume in the $50 range
for Halloween, very much like the children ones such as

but that would fit a 5'9" 140 lbs adult. For full answer, I must be
able to purchase the costume on-line or by phone. Also, to clarify, I
was able to find professional costumes that are priced in $100s and
I'm not interested in those (way out of my price range).  Thanks!

Hi Seagul,

I'm glad I managed to find one that meets your needs, I have posted my
previous comments as an answer - I'm still seeing spots after looking
for this!!

I've found  one at : http://www.alen-clothes.co.uk/mumdad.html 
The costume is $90 and although it is a UK site, they will ship to the
USA.
 
Another one would probably be too expensive and again is on a UK
website: http://www.exult.co.uk/images/8230.jpg - a fur suit with a
foam head, it's priced at £197.40 ($305)
 
Alternatively I have found a dalmatian coat for $129 (probably more
suited to a Cruella role!)

Have fun,

While the item was a bit more expensive than what I hoped for, it was
close enough, and, more importantly, it'll be here on time for my
Halloween party on Sat. Thanks so much!

Hi,
I have been unable to find one which exactly meets your requirements,
but I have found a couple of adult dalmatian costumes on ebay (both
located in USA)
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1780161006 - Large
adult dalmation costume on ebay for bids currently at $29.99 or buy it
now for $45.

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=1778893821 - XXL
costume currently at 481.

I hope that is of some help.
Ali

Apologies, that should read 'XXL costume currently at $81'.

Thanks Ali. Somehow I missed those when searching e-bay. However, due
to size/price/availability (first one already sold out), they don't
really work for me. Thanks for the help though.

Let me know if any of these meet your needs and I'll post it as an
answer.

Thanks Ali! I just ordered the one from England. A bit more than I
hoped for, but it works. Thanks so much!
