Re: Home Based Designer outfits with reasonable prices!!!
I am not taking sides here, or trying to call anyone out on anything, but some people really need to do some math and consider some facts and figures. I have serious doubts that the black outfit with EXTREMELY HEAVY KAAM could cost 5000 rupees which translates to $65 USD. I simply do not believe it. The cost of the material alone, which includes a few yards of cloth for kameez, dupatta, and salwar, and then the materials of beads, sequins, crystals, etc..... those alone are at least 3000+ rupees. And then you're telling me that for the extensive kaam, which would take a couple of weeks at least and for which the kaarigar would charge a few more thousand rupees, plus would keep a profit margin for himself as well........... after ALL this, this kameez would be 5000? I'm sorry, but I am extremely doubtful. My SIL owns a boutique, and I get sarees made from her ALL the time. I have seen what the kaarigars charge her for kaam, and there ain't no way I'd ever be able to get that outfit for 5000 rupees from a kaarigar.
This is my opinion, maybe I'm wrong, but quite frankly, the numbers do not add up and it doesn't make sense.
And there is also another thing I have noticed, not only on this thread but others, that I find extremely disturbing. Why are some of the ladies here trying to pick on these designers/clothing sellers? Why would anyone go into a business if they weren't trying to obtain a profit margin??? People are complaining because a clothing seller is trying to make a profit?? Hello??? If we want something cheaper obviously we can look elsewhere. There's a good variety of choices now on gupshup and on many websites. But attacking the seller for trying to make a living and have a business going.... come on. I would think we're better than that.
