Ok, this is just my experience..the dress i paid 900 for plain.. elkhide, long fringe..etc..then i beaded it myself. Now if i was going to charge someone to fully bead a top, I wouldnt do it for less than 2000 bucks. ($$ that is, not deer). I would charge around $600 for fully beaded moccs and leggins. Crown, choker, hairties, earrings, etc.. I charge $1200 just to make a crown set, and that was with supplies fronted, but that was also for an extremely nice set, rhinestoned out and everything.. Tiger is right usually northern tradish dont wear crowns, but hey to each their own. Breastplate?.. depends on materials.. glass and bone, or plastic, makes a huge, and i mean HUGE difference. Youll probably play 5 times for glass and bone, its alot heavier than the plastic, but it is soooo much prettier than plastic. Belt, with the rest of your beadwork, a concho belt would suffice,, ( dont wanna overdo it now)..lol, alot of northern dont wear belts cuz the top would just cover it anyways, just depends on how you wanna do it. So I guess altogether your looking at around 4000
dollars, just like STATE said, and thats just for the beading labor! After all its alot of work! ;)
If someone really did pay 10,000 for a dress than they have toooo much money and need to share some of that with us!! eyyyyy
