Lower cost materials would be necessary on a budget.
I actually found someone who would do right around here. She does
renaissance
fair clothes for $11/hour as her regular job. While I was talking to
her she made a very
elaborate cloak with hood (cut, sew, added clasps and a border, and
some pleating
things in the shoulders) for her daughter.
Took her about half an hour, no pattern or anything, really amazing.
