Bustle
Last Update August 25, 2003
The prices are for basic labor (That does include the self small pipping in the sleeves, and waist, and the hand sewing of the neckline pipping) only and will vary depending on how elaborate the decoration. You choose your own fabrics! (Or agree to my choices) Each bone added will be $.75. The price DOES NOT include closures or heming (As those would need to be hand sewn) I can hand gauge your skirt for extra $20. Otherwise the skirt will be machine sewn. Any other hand sewing I charge $20 an hour. :-)
