I agree that there is way too much money tied up in the rhinestones. There are a few places to get fair priced stones, especially when you buy in bulk 10 gross packs. I would also limit the number of fancy stones to help control the cost as well. Typically when I stone an average dress, I use about 10 gross of stones, 6 large brooch stones and maybe 1 gross of fancy pears, marquis, cubes, disco balls, etc. The fancy stones are nice up close, but from the judges table, many are lost in the pattern. Of course you can do anything that the customer requires, but I find that the money spent on a lot of fancy stones just adds to the cost. However, if the customer is willing to pay extra for it, extra stones and a lot of fancy shapes can always be done. Good luck to you!
