I will make you that vest for $120.00
Seriously neither is worth the money, but you are right (even though I don't care for it) the girls vest should be priced higher. I believe those faux metal studs are like the iron on ones I have bought from Joann's, they are not expensive or time consuming to apply.
When you sew as well as you do Teri, it is hard to justify the prices some people are asking. I really hope one day you get back into it.
