What I was surprised about is how many people didn't even know what Cosplay is . be moving on the the rest of the questions with them i told them about what it was and why people do it .

later on the people i was interviewing knew more and liked the idea of cosplay however some cant do it because , of cost and how they would look in their chosen characters outfits.

The main problem I saw that people had was simply how much money they would have to spend to create their character. Parents were fine with spending for their infant children but teenagers and other adults have to think hard on how they will save up to buy the outfits.

i suggested to some people to hand-make their chosen characters , but they replied with saying " it would look cheap and if i wanted to cosplay I'd want to look perfect". so hearing this I went on YouTube and Instagram to find some homemade cosplay and see the price and ask people if they could look good at an affordable price, would this reassure their choice to cosplay?

These are some tutorials o found on YouTube of people doing home made cosplay outfits.
