Tits are frankly valuable currency, at least in fandom. That's not likely to change soon :)
I only have one costume that goes with a specific character, and the fact that I look nothing like that character is intentional. It's a meta thing, and at least no one can tell me I got it wrong... that's pretty obvious.
The rest of the time, I costume for a theme, not for a person. Starfleet uniforms, SCAdian garb, or period SF wear: that way, I get the outfit without the comparisons. At this point in my life, the person I look most like is Edmund Blackadder, and while I intend to costume as him someday, it means I can't really do many leading men.
I think my best-known 'authenticity' chain-yank was the con at which I wore a ST: Next Gen uniform with a Babylon 5 comlink where the communicator pin ought to be. That actually pissed off a couple of people. *eyeroll*
