Store Bought or Homemade Costumes/Cosplays?

I’d prefer to make my own costumes, as they’ll generally come out nicer.

Like, a Mario costume I wore as a kid was jsut awful now that I think about it. It may cost more, but a decent mario costume would be timberlands, denim overalls, red sweatshirt, and a Mario style hat

 

I prefer to get mine custom-made online. I'm not good at putting together costumes and I'd rather not just buy one from the store. Also I practically have unlimited options when I do that.

 

I think custom-made is probably going to be a lot better than store-bought, to be honest. It allows you to cosplay better, even though I don't do Halloween costumes.

 

I'd say buy materials from the store and make the costume on your own, though I'll probably never do that because I don't usually wear costumes for Halloween, or cosplay in general.

 

store bought for sure. i definitely dont have the time or the money to try and make my own.

 

I usually just pick up a bunch of random costume components from different places and then combine them all together. I don't do handmade things very often, but I guess I kind of make my own.

 

I don't think I've ever worn a wholly storebought costume; in past Halloweens my brother and I have generally (with the help of our parents) constructed costumes by modifying things we've bought. It feels illegitimate to wear something that you didn't even contribute to a little bit.
