    I'm sorry I don't have a dress of the type you are interested in.
    
    Could there possibly be another topic like this one?!

    When I was looking for something to wear for a 'be your secret
    wish party' last fall I checked out the local costume shops.
    The one I rented my dress from did have a number of wild
    west type dresses. The rental fees weren't very high either.
    
    Check out your local yellow pages.

    Call Hooker-Howe in Haverhill, MA.  They stock literally thousands
    of costumes of every conceivable sort for rent.

    The only place I'd guess you could also ask this is
    MEIS::THEATRE, as they'd know of theatrical supply places.
    
    Look in the yellow pages under "costumes" and you'll find places
    to call and see if they have what you seek....
    
    good luck!

637.5Yes to Hooker-HoweDROSTE::bence"What's one more skein of yarn?"Mon Jun 12 1989 14:028
    Another vote for Hooker-Howe.  You name it they've got several
    of them.  Their rental prices are reasonable, and they'll alter to
    fit.  They also have wigs and other props.
    
    A few years back a group of us called asking if they had Victorian 
    costumes for 25 people.  Their reply?  "Day or evening wear?"

    You might  try  the  dance  conference. Western style square dance
    costumes might be what you need.

    	Thanks but the kind I'm looking for is the kind that
    	comes to your ankles.  
    
    	I am going to check out Hooker&Howe sometime soon.  I called
    	and they rent for $30 plus a $50 deposit which I will get back
    	when I return the dress.
    
    	Thanks for the pointers!!
