/cgl/ - Cosplay & EGL

Apologies that this genuinely sounds stupid, but please hear me out. I've been building up my wardrobe and getting a few Taobao dresses and want to move on to getting my first burando. However, the secondhand market seems a little slow right now and all the pieces I'm interested in don't get listed a lot or just aren't in my preferred colorway/style. Are there "beginner dresses," so to speak, that are common (like Girly Sticker?) that I should settle for until what I like pops up? Or is it all a big waiting game?

Sorry if this is a bit bloggy, I didn't want to ask BSOLF and be told to go back to devilinspired or something. I want to reform my poorfag ways.
