I think she overvalues her work and the materials. If you look at any designer costume, Pharaonics, Bella etc, in my opinion it is unbelieavble that they are only $600-800. (on the other hand I wish they were cheaper; I do not pay more than 450 for a costume, above that is just out of my budget, so I buy them used).

I make my costumes all the time and put quite a bit of work in it. If I made a costume similar to Pharaonics in the amount of effort I would want to sell it for at least $1500. To me my work would be that valuable, but it doesn't mean it would be the same for others. I would have to settle for much less, more like $400-$500 or so because for a little more you can buy an actual brand name beauty.

I think $3000 for this set is ridiculous.
