Hi All,

Sorry for my first post to be a 'Please help me!' post.

I'm hoping to be Kaylee for Halloween this year. My friend is going as River, and her boyfriend will be a Reaver. Hurrah for group costumes!

Anyhoo- I've been searching for Kaylee's teddy bear patch. Poplollies.com is out of stock, cheeptrims.com requires a minimum order of $65, and I haven't found a similar one on ebay.

Does anyone have one to sell? Or does anyone have any other leads? I'd hate for my costume to be inaccurate.

TIA for any tips!

oo, good luck I was going to suggest Poplollies.com

I have seen some terribly cute ones made by buying faux fur and just making their own teddy bear patch. it would get the point across and serve as a place saver until you found a patch you like better

Browncoats are the shiniest folks in the 'verse

HELL'S KITTEN

I bought a few of them via eBay a couple years back; they were the exact same ones Kaylee has on her coveralls in the series.

Which isn't entirely helpful, but at least they do exist....

Thank you both for your suggestions! :) I'm not terribly crafty so who knows how a DIY patch will come out. I've been scouring eBay but all the patches I've come across are rather... creepy. Weird looking bears playing baseball or some such nonsense.

If anyone is sell theirs lemme know!

Thanks!

ETA: Oops, that posted before I was done typing. :) I had mentioned my patch hunt to a friend of mine so she took it upon herself to scour the trim stores in NYC. In one shop she found a patch that could work. When she asked to buy the patch, the employee had to go to the stockroom to find it. He came back with two patchs, the patch she asked for AND the EXACT Kaylee bear patch! It's the two-inch version, not the six-inch but its otherwise spot-on.

I'm quite excited. Thanks to everyone for your suggestions!

Actually, even though the patch is listed on the Poplollies site, if you try to click "place order", at the very top of the next page, it says that it's still unavailable... ::sad face::

For anyone who is still looking for a bear.... unfortunately, I was never able to find a patch in time for my costume this weekend. But I did find a great, last minute substitute that works in a pinch. At Joann, I found some embroidered fleece that has bears on it. I got 1/4 yard with 2 complete bears on it. And all for under $2. It worked out great until I can get the right patch.

EVERYONE! I just randomly checked Poplollies and went through the whole "add to cart" and "checkout" thing - well, far enough to tell without actually buying, I'm pathetically broke - and the Kaylee bear patches are BACK!

So yeah. Happy cosplaying. :)
