Up goes the cost of making corsets

Mon May 4, 2009, 12:22 PM
I recently found a coutil supplier that was selling cotton coutil for half the cost I usually pay. Hurrah! Brilliant! That means I can pass those savings onto my lovely clients. But alas, my dear Watson, Busks have gone up in price, grommets have gone up in price, and one of my silk suppliers has gone up in price.

Annoying, isn't it?

Hopefully having a photoshoot with :iconeclipse-of-faith: at the end of May, and I had every intention of making 9 whole new corsets for it. 9 new corsets and two wedding gowns. But oh no. Due to having money stolen from my account, I had to put a lot of postage costs (which have also gone up-by the way) on my credit card. Which has subsequently gone over it's limit and now I have to pay charges on that too.

I am not a happy bunny on the money front. As fast as it comes in these days, it seems to still be going out at the same rate.

The only way to fix this is to triple my prices. Which I don't want to do.
