Missoula has a large DIY community and for some reason that has included mostly recycling objects and clothing that have already been used. Betty's Divine sells some of these items. Cat's Eye Design, a new store downtown, sells exclusively local fashions and accessories. If you are more on the artsy side, I know at least five people who haven't thought of selling in these shops, but could whip you up a corset and screenprinted dress shoes in a flash.
On the same note, there are many talented costume makers in Missoula. It's kind of far away from costume time for most people, but the it's a good thought to keep in mind come Halloween.
Just thought I'd give some kudos to the DIY community for doing their part on so many levels.
