Hey all.....why oh why are my costumes so expensive?

I am currently trying to dress myself for a number of acts, however I was just wondering whether there is any sort of Sponsorship that I can look into (like a corsetier? or repro clothing labels)

I thought i'd ask...maybe I can save myself from the poverty that this art form is plunging me into...ahhhh isn't it bohemian?!

haha
