the dress is a cheapey one - about £10 in Cairo. However, the pattern is relatively simple and could be made from around 2m of fabric. The diamantes I added by hand, obviously. They are clamped on. Took about a day. Additional hand beading - about another day. Two days. Still not enough to justify that amount. That's ....er, 600 squid for two days work. £600 is about $1,200. Even if a bra took longer than that to make, it's still bloody expensive for what it is.
