If vendors such as Dahlal and Audrena (who are pretty much the only vendors for Pharaonics costumes) want to keep making the same amount of profit, then yes, it would cause them to drive their prices up. It depends on how much Amira charges them for costumes. The $450 may affect dancers who order directly from Amira, but Amira may not have changed her price with Dahlal and Audrena. Also, keep in mind, that when dancers purchase costumes at the festival, they tend to be more pricey then buying costumes when its not the festival.
