you dont have to necessarily sew all of it (for ex: im getting a peridot cos and Im getting a black tee shirt and green leggings and a bright green bodysuit and Im gonna stitch the stars on) what character are you cosplaying

I would just go for what Phosfate said or just get a basic and easy to find one from amazon. It's esspecaly good if you can style your hair to look like theirs or even just dye part of it the right color

@Phosfate: Heh yeah ik its not alot of time, so I plan on crunching it alot (which ik isnt good) but I stay up late anyways (its curently 12:48 at night) and I tend to hyperfixate on stuff like that alot. I wanna do strawberry crepe cookie from crk, so id be making their cape and head peice (which I dont think will be that hard??) but yeah-

I don't know your proficiency level, but 40 days isn't long for sourcing materials, so I'd go with something simple and comfortable. I was in a restaurant a couple of years ago where a hostess was literally cosplaying Tifa Lockhart because it totally fit the dress code and she had the hair. It was a work thing so I couldn't explain why this was both awesome and hilarious.
