Home-made clothes are fantastic, but you'll need some practice. And a decent sewing machine - don't buy a cheap one. And space. And patience. You can hunt down cheap patterns at second-hand stores. Once you've made a few items, you'll get faster at it. I'd make more clothes if I had the patience. It can be frustrating, but it's also incredibly rewarding. Head over to r/sewing for some inspiration.

Dressmaker/tailor-made will be best, but it will also be costly. On the other hand, high-quality clothes will last a long time, and you won't need to be buying replacements every 1 - 2 years.

Yes when I sew my own clothes they do NOT last as long because I'm terrible at sewing the hems 🤣 sweaters have been slightly better. :)
