volatile said:The Stop Staring! dresses, with all their polyester nastiness, are up to double that already!
My opinion on this is NOT that Stop Staring! costs that much to produce. It can't. Made in China polyester whatnot? Their market might be small but not THAT small. I think it honestly has to do with rockabilly community. The emphasis there is more on IMAGE than quality, and so the gals will pay outragegous sums to be the bombshells of their local scene, and the sweethearts of VLV. I mean, I love me some vintage hawaiian, but I won't pay $300-$500 for it. But some of the gals shell that out without thinking, each year on ebay during the months leading up to Viva. And that's who Stop Staring is really made for - rockabilly gals with more money than knowledge. So basically, you're getting ripped off.
