Need Ugly Sweater...Help!

[ZannieGirl49]

So, every year my friend has an ugly sweater Xmas party. We're now only a week and a half away from this year's event and I'm having trouble finding something truly hideous enough for this shindig. Has anyone out there seen any particularly awful holiday sweaters in a national chain store or West Coast chain? I'm really hoping to go matchy matchy with the husband this year for a truly nauseating look.

The host's husband is a photo buff (great with people shots) along with another good friend who'll be there. The icing on the cake is that they're also doing a photo shoot complete with lighting and a backdrop which should be lots of fun. If I get my new camera by then I'll try out a few shots and post anything decent or funny in Share Your Shots.

Thanks! You've definitely put me on the right track. The hostess is wearing a red vest so I can't use this one (I wouldn't want her to think that I stole her idea! )but I'll definitely check out Kmart for more hideousness.

I'll be sure to post a link to the winning design. As long as you'll be able to handle the awful sight on your computer screen!

I've found that looking up 'ugly sweater' on EBay shows some good stuff but I came to a realization. The people who are selling the ugly sweaters usually think that they're super stylish. So when I just looked for Christmas sweater, here's one of the winners that showed up on the list:

Just a reply so that I'm subscribed to this thread. I need to see the results or at least some suggestions from others.

That is an AWESOME slide show. I actually tried to buy one of them (the pink and black monstrosity) but it was no longer available, too bad because it was the most awful excuse for a garment I've ever seen.

@Dave - The pressure's on now! I've really got to come up with the goods!

That is a truly great idea. You should also have a FRUIT CAKE competition as well!!!!!

Thanks for the suggestions. I didn't get the chance to go to the big K or Sears because I found the hands down winner on Ebay. I may not get it until the day of the party but when you see it you'll know why I thought it was worth it. Drum roll please...
