I enjoy dressing up and doing cosplays. It’s something I’ve enjoyed doing for years with my friends but I would always just put something together as a “casual cosplay” as long as it looked similar to the character. But lately I’ve been wanting to have costumes to wear that are accurate. This isn’t a one time thing where I’ll never wear it again because I’ll definitely wear it whenever. But all of what I can find are most definitely fast fashion. I try to thrift whenever I can and limit how many clothes I purchase at once. But when it comes to costumes, you really can’t find anything that’s ethically made or at a thrift shop. I feel really guilty when I think about giving into fast fashion brands because I care a lot about being an ethical customer and about the garment workers. So I guess my question is should I leave it and give up on cosplaying even if I’ve wanted this dress for so long or should I just give into it because I know I’ll wear it a lot? I know it’s stupid to ask but I really want it and it’s not something I can sew up myself. I feel like buying it would be neglecting the garment workers though. I’m really on the edge here so if you could help that’d be great.
