Where can I buy a tacky Christmas sweater?

[goldenstar]

This question is better suited to the shopping forum but I need responses asap.

I''m going to an ugly sweater party and I need to buy the most tacky/gaudy sweater possible. I will try thrift stores but I know the selection might be limited so I need other alternatives. I was hoping you guys knew of department stores (and the like) that sell Christmas themed sweaters. And not cute ones... I live in CA if that helps.

If the sweater isn''t ugly enough I plan to add some bells, bows, glitter, etc.

Ha! Take your pick of any department store, or any WalMart!

Especially gruesome are the Alfred Dunner duds at major department stores! Be sure and burn after wearing . . . that is if you dare to wear.

Try uglychristmassweaterparty.com. They sell them, buy them, offer inspiration for your very own ugly sweater.

Just check out your local thrift stores, Goodwills, Salvation Armys, etc. I just went thrifting the other day and got a sweet Christmas sweater AND an amazing Christmas sweatshirt with a faux turtleneck covered in Christmas teddy bears attached.

ETA just saw that you asked for places OTHER than thrift stores! I would check out some cheapy stores like Wal-Mart, K-Mart, etc. There are bound to be some ugly Christmas sweaters there! Or if you're crafty, just get a sweatshirt and some glittery puffy paint and fabric glue and go crazy making Christmas trees with ribbon garlands, etc.

ETA2 do you have a Coldwater Creek near you? They have a lot of "themed" sweaters there if I recall correctly.
