Oh I totally get that, Mama..

Right now we're piecing together my wife's Halloween costume.. she's gonna be the lead lady from the movie "Ready or Not" that came out a couple of months ago.. She got the dress and the gold high tops.. I found a suitable high calibre bullet belt and inert shells from England and that's on the way.. Gonna get a fake gun at Academy Sports this week.. at the end of the movie her dress is all splattered in blood and stuff, so we're gonna buy a gallon of fake blood and go to town with it..

I haven't started my outfit yet.. but I have enough stage clothes to literally outfit about 15 metal bands, so I doubt I buy anything new this year.. except for a meteorite ring I'm having made - I just want a ring made from a meteorite slab..

Etsy is definitely a good place to get custom made stuff.. but, like you said, it ain't cheap..

What my wife's outfit is pattered after:
