Where can I buy/ how do I make hakama??

Question

I'm trying to cosplay as somebody that wears red hakama. I don't have a very extensive budget so can anyone tell me where I can get hakama or give me a SIMPLE pattern for making some hakama for UNDER $30?

I have very little sewing experience, I've never used a machine before. Also if anybody makes hakama, would you take a commission for red hakama?

Answer 2

It is much easier (and cheaper) to buy hakama, mainly due to the amount of fabric used and complexity of making them (7 pleats which need to be knife/box pleated etc.)

However, these sites should be helpful. Good luck!
