Not that there’s anything wrong with that!
Pas du tout. Ridiculing freaks never, ever goes out of style.
And to think, the digression could have been entirely avoided had the OP simply read “sewing a skirt and, after following my wife’s instructions…”
Unsurprisingly, I always suspected you were a cosplayer. You seem like the type.
You can always make fun of furries, darling. 
Absolutely.
I can’t imagine why not. THEY are…odd.
But where would making fun of all the drama regarding a skirt she will wear once and which she really doesn’t care how it looks (see the safety-pinned hem) come in? The cosplay shit just makes it all the more ridiculous and Pit worthy.
Ponies wear skirts?
When your parents keep you locked in a closet for most of your childhood, you learn to make do.
They even have a dressmaker. I woke up long enough to find that out.
If you’re over the age of 12 and playing dress-up outside the confines of your bedroom or a theater, you’re inviting mockery. If you’re being a jerk about it to the parents whom you’ve hijacked into designing your costume for you, you deserve it even more so.
Gosh. Well, there goes the Carnevale di Venezia, Mardi Gras in New Orleans, Halloween, and innumerable just-for-the-hell-of-it masquerade balls.
What on earth have you people got against fun?
It’s not appropriate.
Geez, you middle-aged guys dressed up as glittery paisley unicorns with saran-wrap butterfly wings are all so touchy.
It’s not just cosplaying bronies (of whom I don’t happen to be one, btw) that Boozahol Squid was complaining about, though: it was any adult putting on a costume for any reason whatsoever except for the purpose of appearing in a theatrical production.
That level of disapproval does seem to me a little excessively anti-frivolity. A Halloween version of Ebenezer Scrooge, as it were.
Frivolity just seems a little… frivolous to me. I mean, sure, I don’t think that fully grown adults playing dress-up on Halloween are nearly as weird as the ones playing dress-up for a comic-con. But I still think they’re engaging in what’s basically a children’s game.
Word
I’m not sure how to break this to you, but…you’re a panda. A panda using the internet.
One so rarely sees an actual tautology in real life.
And, for the record, as a dad and a teacher I have chosen to act like an adult. But I can’t fault someone for getting to act childishly.
Says the smurf 
Cosplay is a stupid word.
Just my opinion, but there is no reason, that I can I fathom, not to just type the ‘tume’. Other than to be all chic and hip. Clearly more important than being clear or understood.
No, it didn’t kill me to Google it and figure out what the devil ya’ll were on about. But when I did, I was sorely disappointed to discover it was pure affectation. Pretty rich for people making fun of those who enjoy ‘costume play’. Apparently high school plays and historic reenactments need to be clearly separated from Comic Con attendees and Renaissance Fairs - by spelling and affected hipster airs.
Yet another unnecessary abbreviation, and an overtly stupid one at that. Again, just my opinion.
