Why making your own costume is better than a store-bought one.
One year I made a genie costume from a pattern. I'm not much of a seamstress, so it was a nervewracking at first, but also very fun. Pressure for perfection was off because it was just a one-day costume, and I chose a very easy pattern. It turned out great, fit me perfectly, and was much prettier than what I found in stores.
