No matter if you make your costume from scratch or buy it pre-made, you are still a cosplayer. Don't let anyone tell you otherwise. We all start from somewhere!

Don't gatekeep a hobby that's supposed to be fun! Let people enjoy what they do regardless if they made it or not!
There are so many factors that play into if a person has the access to create a costume from scratch. Money, time, physical disabilities, a good workspace, ect. Hell sometimes you just don't feel like making one! And that's ok! That's why buying costumes is awesome!
Bought costume quality has gone up a LOT since I started! Even I'm blown away at how great bought costumes look now a days! So if you wanna buy your costume, DO IT! If you wanna make it, DO IT! Do whatever makes YOU happy!

Never shame someone for buying instead of making ❤️
