Whose up for some math part 1

Here we go again ladies and gents. For years now i have been getting approached with this question " How much will it cost to design me something" at one point over five years ago, i almost undersold myself, because i was new in the fashion game ( still wet behind the ears ha ha.) but i was waylaid before i could begin production, for some reason i am glad i had that interference happen or This True Fashion Culprit movement would not exist today, but that's another topic in itself that will go into a book i plan on writing along with the magazine that we'll introduce in a few weeks, now back to the situation at hand. In any process, <u>TIME IS MONEY, and in the industry no one wants there time wasted</u> Understanding what quality is , is to appreciate the process in which the item was produced. Why is chicken less then a steak portion? why is a Chevy less then a Benz? We as American people would like to be paid for what we are worth.

How many of you at this stage in life would work for minimum wage? I don't know what the wage is in your state, but in Mn it's $7.25 per hr. The pressure's of friends and family wanting you to design them stuff just because you have the know how can be frustrating. Right now there are only two people who truly knows what goes into any piece produce; reason being is because they are right there with me when i begin the whole process of sketching, sourcing the fabric and other materials, creating the patterns, making the markers, checking for fit (which can be time consuming in itself) along with the sometime 14 plus hrs of continued work. It probably takes at least 3 to 5 fittings before the right is achieved, due to the many curves on a women. No women is alike when it comes to body types , and women are the biggest money spenders( sorry guys statistics!), but on the other hand guy clothing cost more( sorry ladies!) Women frequently undergo problems with fit, THEY MAY GET SOME JEENZ THAT FIT IN THIGHS BUT ARE TOO LOOSE IN THE WAIST OR THE OPPOSITE. Taller and shorter women tend to have the most problems, those problems can only be resolved by taking every women that lives in America measurements, and formulating them into working patterns, which guess what? will cost alot of money!

NO company is going to put all of that time and effort in just to satisfy every one that inhabits the U.S.A, it's entirely impossible do to the difference in opinion, taste in clothes, and so on. In the U.S there's over 300 million people, and believe me we are all different, sure some people like my stuff and then there are the people that think some of the stuff i produce is childish or NOT FOR GROWN ups which is B.S any person that thinks clothes build their character is a fool, with that being said my job is to satisfy those that are mt=y target market. Did you know if you had a collection or should i say a line coming out, that consisted of two dress style's, three blouses, a skirt, some jeenz, and shorts or capris, which is a total of 5 complete fits right?
