There doesn't seem to be much intricate bead work on them, they are more on the simple (and elegant) side, and if she can turn a custom order around in three weeks, then she is not spending excessive amounts of time on each costume.

Are they lined in 14K gold? Seriously, though, I want to know. Why are they so expensive?
