>Where can I buy a high quality maid outfit that isn't just lole fetish wear Chinese cosplay tier crap?
Machine made cosplay is always gonna be spirit halloween tier crap, there's no market for intermediate fetishwear. Even lingerie, a traditional upscale market, is almost all trash that basically operates off the 'people don't know better/don't have the agency to demand better (a la arse tickler's faggot fan club)' principle.
Since obviously, y'know, bespoke clothing is bespoke clothing. It involves craftsmanship and a level of design to the person, so there's no way to make it cheap, and that's the alternative, that's the standard alternative to corner store schlock. Because costumes, where they're made, are typically made by hobbyists, with an essentially unlimited amount well of time and effort to draw from if they choose to.
>Do I have to learn to make my own cosplay?
That is what other people do, so that is what you are ~competing with. That is, it's the standard alternative, to need to have a person (usually the wearer) who does make the cosplay.
