I thought differently when I saw them in person...and THEN I tried one on. They truly are different.
There are a lot of details and quality differences that pictures just do not convey but that ARE evident in person. The time that goes into the construction of this bra is most definitely different from a high end lingerie bra (although they are BOTH miracles of engineering). It's kind of like the difference seeing a quality and charismatic dancer on youtube and then seeing them live.

I get what your saying, but even those facts don't justify that kind of money. I know how much beads and swarovski cost. I use them all the time. And you can bet your bottom dollar that this designer does not have to pay the prices for crystals that I do. The real bonus with these costumes is the skirt desgin (it flares and is roomy with no ugly bottom hugging line that you usually find with lycra costumes) and the bras are sturdy and well fitting. Apart from that, they are very unexceptional and certainly not worth the money being charged. When you consider the mark up on them...phew!
