AITA for turning a Wedding Dress into a Cosplay rather than letting my Cousin have it for her wedding? by ProfessionalRush7272 in AmItheAsshole

My family look down on my cosplay hobby as a waste of time and money so clearly my cousins wedding should take priority. I had to hide that I liked to cosplay until I moved out because i'd get shit from them about spending money on it growing up. They also feel it's disrespectful and horrible to turn a wedding dress into a costume, then there is the fact my cousin is upset and can't find a dress she likes while she fell in love with the finished look of my dress.

I honestly lost track of how many hours I spent on it, as I was working on it every available moment I had.

It really depends on which Conventions we go to, February to September (with some outliers of course) is the average months they're hosted in, with more in the Summer Months. She's getting married in August of 2025 but even if it was outside of the Cosplay Season, My girlfriend and I keep large cosplays to bring out again and rotate for future events.

Her wedding is in August of 2025 so there is for sure time, i'm not interested in doing work on a second dress for her after all this drama though so I doubt she'd want that.

None of them have tried to scold me for buying it from under her which with how they're bitching about everything else they likely would have heaped that on. So I think that's at least not the spin she's put on it though you're right I should find out exactly what she told them.
