Check out your local thrift store,you may find something there to use as a base for your costume, and then you can alter it to suit your need by adding accessories.

Browse through patterns. You'd be surprised what you can find. You can accomplish alot, even without altering the patterns (which isn't hard, and helps the costume look more accurate).
Mostly, though, it's about creativity. Experimenting is totally ok. :D

if you cant sew,. hot glue is your friend. Use a hot glue gun instead of sewing and no one will be able to tell the difference

call around to your local fabrics shops, they usually have classes. even if they don't, the ladies there are very helpful and there's usually a bulletin board of ladies who will help you for $.
