Ah. Because there are a lot of social situations where a person might need to have a costume, and purchasing a costume avoids the possibility that the effort you put into making one yourself will be found embarrassing.
Don't worry. The secret to not feeling stressed about situations like that is not to care what people think. Though if you don't have time for a journey of self-acceptance before the party, there is a shortcut where you simply choose a costume that will make it appear that your motive was just to look attractive or cute. No one will be able to judge your effort or lack of effort because they'll be tricked into thinking you didn't care about that either way.

These are all situations I'm not familiar with, but for some reason just hearing about them sounds stressful.
