I did an estimate not long ago... it came to approx. $233, but I think I forgot to include some transfers I'd bought for the suspenders. ~_~ And I've forgotten his freakin chain. Hot Topic requires I have a credit card to buy that $6 one. I'll open a checkings one day *exhale*
I'm custom making EVERYTHING except his socks. ~.~ But you're right, it does look Halloweenish when you buy the cheaper material, but it makes sense if you're only going to wear it for one night. Why spend "real suit" money for one wearing? I plan on wearing this on a couple events, so that's why I'm investing in quality. And there are some people who just want the look. Accuracy means nothing to some. *heart breaks*
