I agree, her costume is totally over priced. I doubt anyone will purchase it. Even though its hand made, its not worth $3,000. As someone pointed out, a Pharaonics costume should cost about $1500. That is what my relatives in Egypt thought they cost. They were surprised that they cost less. The labor and materials in Egypt is cheaper than America. Also, in Egypt, 400 US dollars for a Pharaonics costume is considered a lot of money because the dollar is so high. If it was an American making a comparable costume the American designer would charge around $1,500 taking into account time, labor and materials. Now there are certain designers like Sahar-I have several of her costumes that cost between $1,165 to $1,850. They are pretty magnificent (IMHO) so for an Egyptian, she is making a killing off me!
