I made this DIY blazer for £27! Every button, every seam, every scrap of fabric included. Then I asked strangers at @creatorfest to guess how much they thought it cost. They guessed £200.
In this video, I'm breaking down the real cost of handmade fashion: the exact materials, how I sourced them, the time it took to make, and why people consistently overestimate the price of DIY clothing. Is sewing your own wardrobe actually cheaper than buying it? Let's find out.
📌 What's in this video:
- The full cost breakdown (fabric, notions, everything)
- Strangers guessing the price on camera
- Whether DIY fashion is actually worth it
This is episode 1 of The Cost of Fashion: a series where I make clothes, break down exactly what they cost, and see how our assumptions about price stack up against reality.
👇 Let me know in the comments what YOU think this blazer would cost to buy in a shop.
