Besides, I don’t think it was only meant as a punchline that they expected to win just by showing up with a real girl.

Although, in the Halloween episode where they all showed up as The Flash, they made a couple references about “To the sewing machines!”, implying that they make their own costumes.

Stuart doesn’t have to disqualify store-bought outfits. However, in any decent costume contest, the homemade costumes should be given preference over anything that’s obviously store-bought.
