- I always buy my cosplays. All the fun is in wearing it for me, and I'm not talented enough to make them myself as is. In the time and effort it would take me to learn to sew/build cosplays myself, I could just work more and save up more $$ to buy something that I can rely on to be quality work. I've cobbled together some accessories and repairs but they're pretty half-assed and nowhere near good enough to make an entire cosplay out of.
