Thank you so much. This message is very, very sweet and you're kind for sending it to me. <3

I'm sorry if I sounded a bit whiny and depressing, I just get so incredibly frustrated sometimes, you know? For the most part I am very fortunate in that most of the experiences I've had on here have been good ones--my followers are awesome and really supportive when it comes to things like my discussion posts and cosplay and I'm really thankful for that. But sometimes people just act so vile that it overshadows all the good things and upsets me. They can be mean and rude and hateful towards me for no reason whatsoever and it bothers me because I don't think I deserve that kind of treatment, you know? Like I'm nowhere close to perfect and I know that sometimes I can get too emotionally invested in things that I'm passionate about, but I really do try to be nice and polite and respectful and it just bothers me when people don't act the same way in return.

YAYYYY! That sounds really fun! :D And thank you for calling me the Scarecrow expert, haha. <3 <3 

I think your best bet would be to check out stores like Goodwill or the Salvation Army. Sometimes you can find really nice dresses there for very little money. Faded, worn clothing might work in your favor and give your costume a more weather-beaten look, like a scarecrow who just climbed down from their post in a cornfield. Burlap is an inexpensive fabric, and you should be able to get it along with some cheaply-priced thick black thread at a fabric store.

i SERIOUSLY hope you didnt pay this person to make it for you tbh if it kept falling apart and the costume maker refused to do it rite

Oh, I did. 80 bucks, plus the supplies. 

Oh, and it was even worse than that. See, she was my friend at the time, and was trying to get into costume making. We had been friends for years, but she also was the one who was giving me shit advice, generally leading me down the wrong path. Our friendship was strained as was. 

So, after it fell apart, I told her and asked her to fix it for me. Not only did she say that she wouldn't, but that if she did, I would have to pay her another $80 for the work, and the supplies all over again.
