“Should I buy or make this cosplay costume?” This is a quite easy choice question, but it is hard to answer. Making or buying? It depends on many factors, including time, budget and sewing ability. Generally thinking, making costume will save much money compare to buy costume, but sometimes, it will cost much more money to make costume yourself! So for a cosplay costume, you should consider all aspects to get it at a best way.
Buying a costume is the best way for those who don’t have sewing ability. Search online and find a cosplay costume selling store and you tell them your size and requirements, they can do all the work.
