I do not have the strength or the time to sew my own costumes. I cosplay to "become" a character for a few hours, not to get admiration for my craft and sewing skills. I do it for fun, and sometimes it also makes other people smile. I'm certainly happy when I can meet a cosplayer of my favourite character. It seems that what you want is a craft and sewing con, not a cosplay con. Why do you crave admiration for an activity you seem to despise so much, along with people who just want to have fun? The last time I went to a con, I went in a store-bought cosplay, and so did my partner. She's disabled, so we could only be there for a few hours. The nicest group of people we met were cosplayers from the same fandom, with a quickly thrown together cosplay, and we had the time of our lives just laughing together and talking. I personally don't look at how attractive someone is, I just want to "meet the characters" I like and bond over fandom. But of course, some people are going to be incredibly petty, competitive, and clique-y, and make something that's supposed to be fun unnecessarily stressful and unnerving, especially for those who are already anxious. At least you are aware that your own view is subjective, I guess.

Seconding this perspective. Back when I was in college, I had the time and my group of friends had the collective resources to handmake costumes, and we made some FANTASTIC ones, but these days? Lol no, I have to buy it or /maybe/ closet-cosplay if I want to have that fun experience of "inhabiting" the character for a day.
