I mean ,I see a little doggie dress for $40 and it's got maybe $1-2 worth of material and supplies and 20 minutes worth of cutting and sewing tops and they want $40 for it...plus shipping  So what I'm saying is ... where do you draw the line on what is acceptable pricing for what things??????? You can't... you either pay it or don't  |
First off, if you have never sewen a dress, I would watch what you are saying. I make several and depending on what material and ribbion I put on it will adjusts the cost. Yes I can make one for 2 dollars, but it looks like crap. Extreamly plain and no frill at all. Also if I only spent 20 minutes to cut and sew it 1. it wouldnt be finished, 2 you would be lucky if it fit 3. it would probably fall apart before it even got on your dog. I take twice that just to cut because I like straight lines and proper layout. I take time, I have integrity and I charge a decent price. I use quality material and ribbions. I charge anywhere from 15 to 50 depending on what is used. Think about it if I use fabric that is 12 dollars a yard and another for accent at 9 dollars a yard and the accent is 17 a yard I would be making very little on a dress for 40$.
I know I am speaking for myself, but I would imagine the others that make and sell clothes would agree, for a cheap price you get lesser quality. And I hardly think any of us would do such a thing, otherwise we would never sell a thing!!
BTW I do feel the baby is over priced, because of his issues with the open fontanal and all. I hope she lowers her price someone will take proper care, or he gets lucky and finds a good mommy despite that price tag.
