Help!

Inspiration needed please! My son has to dress up as someone from china/the Orient next week as part of his school's book week. So far, I am going to make him a coolie hat out of a big piece of sugar paper, face paint a moustache, get him to wear his black plimsolls and make him a long black plait out of wool.

Any other ideas????? Would be greatly appreciated!!
That's Numberwang!

    Got any old, plain-coloured shirts you could take the collar off to make a mandarin collar shirt? That with some plain pyjama pants could work?

    I like that idea Ytaya, and even my sewing skills should manage it ...
