Kharis, how many hours did it take you to design/draft the pattern, and then sew and bead the dress? And how much is an hour of your time worth?

Now, you tell me that the mark up of nearly $2,000 is fair. And I don't believe for one moment that any of those Sahar costumes have that many diamantes on them.
