Answer 1

pricing a jingle dress can be tricky. ive seen them sell for 7 or 8 hundred dollars, and some as low as $250. (which is a steal at that price) but if i were you i would first ask around and see if anyone you know actually knows how to make one, or if they know someone who knows somebody. and im sure that would be cheaper. but also to make a jingle dress in what would be considered done the "correct way" it would take 365 days (1 year) to complete. make the dress, and add one jingle per day. it is ok to dance in an incomplete dress. people understand and respect women who follow the old way of making the dress and are proud to wear even an incomplete dress. It really all depends on if you want to see it made in front of your eyes, or buy one already completed.
