One hundred and ninety-one exorbitant wages_1
Translator: 549690339
These days, although prices are generally low, the cost of cheongsam is a completely different matter.
It is, after all, an item worn by people of high society.
A standard cheongsam could cost five to six hundred, and a slightly better one would be around one to two thousand, with some even reaching tens of thousands.
The expense lies in the embroidery and the fabric used.
Large-scale embroidery does not come at the same price as regular embroidery.
The quality of the embroidery further affects the price.
Certainly, brocaded satin and ordinary silk satin could not possibly be priced the same.
Just from the look of her shop, one can tell that the items sold there would not be cheap.
Embroidery costing four hundred yuan placed on fabric worth eight hundred yuan can be resold for three thousand, so truly, this business is very profitable. (Don't argue with me, just think about how expensive the clothes of the ladies in the palace are!)
