well I used to be a more ''all japanese stuff'' collector,I used to like any cosplay that was cheap, because after all it was still cosplay, or when I started lolita I bought only cheap stuff. Through the years, I discovered that cosplay and lolita is not ''as cheap as possible'' but as good as possible! Now I spend much more ( one outfit is +150 USD for me...) But at least I know it worths... Also,I admit I use photoshop :)
