Coraline Costume

Costume-filter: help me source a kid-sized plain yellow rain coat for my daughter's Coraline costume. Bonus points if it's a coat and boots combo.
My ten year old daughter has her heart set on being Coraline for Halloween. I'm having trouble finding appropriate yellow rain jacket and boots. All of the plain yellow coats I can find are sized for adults, and all of the kids jackets have cutesy designs on them. Ideally, I'd like to order these online, but brick-and-mortar options are welcome too. Cheaper is better, but I'm willing to spend some $ to make this happen.

Just noticed that has a stripe, but it's the closest I saw that wasn't a hundred bucks. You might also try Google Shopping or even eBay.

Okay, just one final comment: The Google Shopping results for kids yellow raincoat.
It's just such an awesome costume idea, I had to see what I could find.

Best answer: I did a quick search and found two sources for kid-sized yellow rain coats:

It sounds like a standard school uniform type coat - have you tried eBay for suppliers in the UK or France? I'd be surprised if Boden didn't do something like that too.

Lands End, which is where the Rain & Shine Boots above are from, also has a yellow rain jacket for kids that just might do the job.

Response by poster: thanks all, costume parts ordered. Strangely enough, when searching for "yellow raincoat" on Amazon, one of the suggested items is "electric blue wig".
