I bought a Carter's bubble costume (cow) from Costco last month in sz 24 months. DD is just shy of 15 months. I tried it on her last night and the tights are SOOOO tiny - I don't know if they'll work. Did anybody else notice the tights to run super small? From the appearance, I think all the tights in manufacturing were the same size and they just stitched a random label on the back. I'm frustrated as the tights help make the outfit.

Here's the costume:

I love the cow costume! I got the tiger, so no tights but what about getting some trumpette tights to wear with it? Then she could wear them again.

I thought about the trumpette tights, but I'm having a hard time justifying $17 on tights for a $12 costume. Do any stores sell knock-off "trumpette style" tights for around $5?

Target has the Trumpette Too line in socks, but not sure about tights (I have a boy so haven't looked!). I know a few years ago Children's place had some. I'd check those two places first. Good luck!

Honestly, I would get the tights for a little baby (or put black footie socks over plain white tights), but if your little one is walking, I would skip it and just do white tights and black shoes.

The tights on those Costco Carter's costumes are ridiculous!!! My girls were well within the weight and height ranges for size 18 months and the crotch of the tights barely hit their mid-thighs when stretched to the max! That made me a little mad, but I'll probably just buy them some tights or have them wear leggings that go with the costume.

This will look every bit as cute IMO!
