/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Well, guess spoilers don't work here, whatever

First things first, I know I'm nowhere near finished. I got painting to do, I got more costume pieces to get/buy, I need to smooth out these foam tits I cut out (one of the group has thankfully gave me some tips there), I need to cut out more body features, list goes on, but I was hoping to get some advice on where I should start to find an outfit for my character. It was based of this image here, and I'm already regretting the reference. Should I custom build from scratch or would it be better to find similar clothes to match the shape then dye? Or even just buy similar clothes in general? Not looking to spend too much on this part mind, £70-100 tops. Upfront wouldn't mind being told that's unrealistic but hey, here's hoping (2/3)
