I've got this math project that I am thoroughly behind on, and to finish it I need your help. I'm collecting information on the relationship between cosplay price how you got it. By that I mean did you make the cosplay yourself or buy it from someone else? If you bought all the fabric and sewed it together yourself but bought an already-made wig, I'd call that a homemade cosplay. If you went to Goodwill and bought all the pieces you need ready-made without modifications, I'd call that bought. I'm leaving it to you to make those distinctions. It's up to you whether you want to add in the price of props and other details.
Age: (how old you were when you bought/were working on this cosplay)
Bought or homemade?:
Cost: (feel free to guesstimate)
Please fill out one form for each cosplay!
Example:
Age: 14
Bought or homemade?: Homemade
Cost: $85
Age: 15
Bought or homemade?: Homemade
Cost: $10
Age: 16
Bought or homemade?: Homemade
Cost: $30

I'd love to help but I really have no idea how much my cosplay cost.
I think I'd horribly skew the results. D8

If you give me horribly skewed results I'll have to write about in my discussion section. I don't need accuracy, I just need generic numbers.
You bought your uniform at Andy & Bax, right? Their uniforms are usually around $60.

Most of my costumes are made from things I already had. Or bought partly and made modifications. My wigs are the main expense for my costumes. :/ Also these two I listed are really rough estimates. EDIT: And the only ones I spent a really significant amount of money on.

I'll add some current ones once I finish them. >.> They're both estimates, they probably cost more.

really? (is that the one near burnside?) I got my coat and trousers for $30. If you exclude the boots... I didn't need a wig or contacts, and everything else I already had. I altered it quite a bit, but I'm still counting it as bought.
Okay, horribly skewed it is!

I'm pretending I already had the boots. xD;

Me and some friends are doing Dogs at some point in the far future (maybe Sakura 2011) and we'd love to nab you for a photoshoot.
