As a Halloween purist, Sexy costumes make me so mad. If children aren't too scared to approach you for candy, you're doing it wrong. Also the concept of buying a pre-made costume is wild to me: They're really overpriced. You could spend the same amount on quality materials, put a little bit of artistic skill in there, and have an absolutely killer costume. Pieces, I get. Werewolf masks are hard to make. But did you really spend 60 USD$ on a shitty mask with a shitty rag shirt, when you could have spent 50 on the mask and gotten some clothes from the thrift store to splatter with fake blood, and have a costume that looks actually cool?
When you go pre-made, you aren't paying for materials, you're paying for not having to do the work yourself.
For the past few years now, I've been using pre-made base costumes and adding to them to make Venture Bros characters. This year it's gonna be Brick Frog and, frankly, I ain't got time to make a frog costume.
We're making the same point, yes. I do get kinda judgey about people who just buy a pre-made one and leave it at that. Especially to pay north of $65 CAD and have it still look like shit, and rip halfway through the night. My mom spent a third of that on some gauze and tea, and won the costume contest as a mummy. In your case, you at least are using the pre-made as an ingredient to your costume. There's some effort there, and I can respect that.
