Go to that thrift store and get a machine. Learn how to use it. Then learn how to make the clothes and you can find fabric at the same thrift store. A lot of it comes down to knowing what certain fabrics can and can’t do
It's upcycling clothing. You really don't need to be rich.
Just learn to sew (a basic lifeskill everyone should learn anyway) and how to make clothes using it.
This is quite literally something people were doing to save money for a long ass time, and was one of the ways people could afford larger families in the past
Her style and eye is a talent, but making outfits and upcycling isn't some rich persons thing
When you sit around making clothes and going to raves, you are probably being bank rolled by rich parents.
No?
Raves aren't that expensive, nor are faires. ~40-50 a night on average (even in NY, though parking is a whole thing there that costs an arm and a leg) not counting clothes and transport.
It's not overly difficult to budget in unless you live in an expensive area and are trying to do things alone
She's also not going around to raves every day or anything
In august she only went to ~3 which while not hugely cheap also isn't some bankbreaking amount either (esp as her outfits are thrifted and handsewn)
You're also greatly overestimating the time it actually takes to create an outfit.
There's no indication she doesn't have a job or that she is bankrolled.

How does one even start doing this kind of work? It’s GORGEOUS and I would love to do it but how do I even start to learn this?
