okay here is a break down of what i spend/ make on a dress
dress material lace ss chiffon paint gas to get these things plus hours away from my family =100.00
stones =200.00

total 500.00 for a 1500.00+ dress
I also take payments make my own shells deal with moms who aren't sure all the time take calls that last about 1 hour and always get the dress out on time or before I think I am getting the raw end of the deal not you I work about 60-70 hours on a dress and make 200.00 do the math :) now I have said what I needc to have a great day

to those upset over the prices of shells, I too thought the $250 plus I was quoted on a long skirt shell dress was high. I can sew (well i know who to run a sewing machine anyway). So about two weeks ago I set out to make my own. AND LET ME TELL YOU, I wish now I had just paid the $250 and was waiting for it to come in the mail. BY the time I bought the material, foots for machine, patterns, dvd to show me how, and other little extras you dont think about until you need it. I have spent well over $175. that doesn't even count the hours teaching myself the right ways to sew a pageant dress. I have three daughter and i'm a stay home and still will pay for a shell NEXT time. Thanks to those willing to make them for us. even at $250. I will pay that next time rather than go though this again.
