I came across this example:

> おかあさん、ほとんど着ない振り袖作ったってしょうがないよ、どうせなら、バーバリーのスーツ買ってよ。 Mom, it's a waste of money
> to buy me a furisode because I won't have many chances to wear it. If you
> want to buy me something, please buy me a Burberry's suit.

However, I couldn't find 作る to mean "buy" in the dictionaries I looked at. Is
this a slang meaning? Is the translation above correct?

question
meaning
Can 作る mean "buy"?
No, 作る means 'to make'. (Although you will have to pay for this tailor-made
garment.)

The speaker is saying don't get a furisode _made for me_ , instead buy me a
Burberry suit.
