Q: “I am look for a size 20W Dress pattern for Mrs. Santa Clause.
Can anyone tell me where I can find 1 cheap/free? would be best and cheap will work too. Thanks
A: Remember pattern size is not the same as ready to wear dress size, so choose a pattern by measurements. Cheap: most chain fabric stores like Joann and Hancock offer $1-2 specials on Simplicity, McCalls or Butterick at least a couple of times a month. You’re not likely to find anything labeled as “Mrs. Claus”, so take a look in the costume sections for patterns with the silhouette you want. FWIW, one year I made a friend an “emergency” Mrs. Claus costume of a red and green plaid flannel nightgown and a big white hoover apron over it, with red rickrack trim and holly appliqued on the pocket.
Some suggestions (and be sure to look at all the pattern views by clicking on the photo that comes up:)

Look at Wal-Mart in the fabrics section.
