Is it still considered brand whoring if:

So now I am a few weeks into my commitment, and I have a few dilemmas that I need to work out.

Is it still considered brand whoring if:
1. It is vintage.  Does vintage Versace still count as Versace?
2. I get it at a consignment shop or 2nd use shop.  If I get my citizens at Buffalo Exchange?
3. I make it from a brand name pattern.  If I sew a dress from a Vogue pattern, am I still a brand whore?

Number 3 is my dilemma today.  I am going to Hawaii in 2 months and I need some sundresses.  We didn't get much sun in Seattle last year, so I did not have a reason to buy summer clothes.  I have a Vogue pattern that I want to make a dress from, but I am wondering if it is still my being a brand whore.  I am going to go with no, on the basis that when completed it will be label free.

Here is the dress in question:
