Subject: yep, and sometimes that $200 is a modest figure. I had to import a specially chosen sequin fabric for sleeves at $90/yd. Imagine nearly $100 just for your sleeves!

In reply to: people need to be educated 's message, "How true this is. People gasp at the $1100 you charge. They don't realize one third of that goes to taxes (in the U.S.) and at least $200 goes for materials. That leaves the dressmaker $534 for her 80 hours of work. Almost $7 an hour. Wow." on Thursday, July 03, 06:42:55pm

I spend 200 just on fabric. Stiffener, thread, rhinestones, zippers, snaps, needles, interfacing, etc. usually adds another $100 and that doesn't consider overhead costs - electric, wear & tear on equipment & car, etc. (NT)But still, I love my job!Thursday, July 03, 10:48:11pm
