I don't think I have seen black bed sheets! The last time I was in Walmart the twin sheets were $5.00. Still a good price, but a 25% increase in price.
Well they do have black bed sheets I have purchased one. I think you are correct it was twin size not full for $5.. the full was $9. I made lots of kids costumes over the years and some I spent lots of time and money on, they grew out of them fast in one year, so I learned that it is about making it fit them now and making them comfortable and getting the jist of what they wanted.. such as a tux. He is 7 he will grow out of it fast... so most important get it made while he wants it and make sure it is comfortable.
