Is it ever acceptable to buy costumes off the rack?
Pic semi related.
No actually cares, but it's definitely noticeable when someone is wearing Party City cheap spandex Spiderman versus someone who either comissioned or handmade their work well. It might be better to buy off the rack if you don't believe in your skillmanship.
I think most people who buy off the rack aren't planning on entering contests or asking for photos but are just dressing up to have fun and fit in outside of Halloween. Like you wouldn't even be mad if someone spilled beer on your suit, you know?

Nobody cares.
Unless you're going for a competition.

Unfortunately, because we have to share the same convention space as capeshit spergs and /tg/.
