Oh cool, you spent 10000+ hours on your dress? Oh, it has 5000000+ glass beads? Nice. So how much did that fucker cost you in money and life?

As someone who makes gowns, corsets, AND armor, armor is easy as shit. It's just time consuming.

>230+ hours
Somehow I doubt it took a solid month of 8 hour work days to make something so mediocre. Unless this person had to spend all that extra time transforming party hats into usable materials rather than actually ponying up a few bucks for real supplies.

Oh your one of those cosplayer. Why spend 5 bucks on a cone shaped object when you can buy 30 dollars of supplys and materials and craft them yourself for 3 hours. It's so much better.

The project I'm working on right now (sorry, no photos) is the first time I actually bothered to write down expenses.
I'm at 60€ right now, and I still need wig, pair of glasses, boot covers, miniskirt and some modifications to the main jacket, mostly sewing a pattern on it.
I hope that I don't end up going over 100, but that seems pretty unlikely. Especially since I probably have to commission the parts requiring sewing. Haven't touched a sewing machine personally in over 10 years

At least that budget seems realistic. I hated when this cosplay budget trend came in and cosplayers were literally adding electricity costs to their total expenses to up the cost of their cosplay.

The fuck is wrong with spending a lot of time to make your cosplay? This is a hobby, hobbies are meant to fill your time.

Did you ask your parents permission before going online today, dummy anon?
Is this a general thread to talk about budgets for cosplay or will I need to go somewhere else to have a budget question answered?
