I wish it would fit me...

So am just in the process of updating my Etsy page ( http://www.etsy.com/shop/ElmoFors?ref=si_shop) and oooh pricing is HARD! I mean, everyone making stuff for sale knows this, but browsing around looking for inspiration leaves you completely dumbfounded - things sell so cheap! I know I probably don't have the same target market as H&M and Primark, but it is crazy to see things beeing sold so cheaply when you know how much time you would spend on it yourself. OK, so a more streamlined way of doing business, producing overseas and having a gazillion shopfronts does take the prices down and profits up, but hey, hand made - nope, wouldn't call it that. And hand made in any case - by whom. 

Anyway, prices for fashionable goods are a constant cunundrum for me, but I finally got around to product pics, descriptions and, yes, pricing. Any comments warmly welcomed!

This one just out by the way - a onesie to giggle yourself to a state of frenzy for (to die for sounds too harsh)!


I love making these little gems, keeps me fantasizing about the day when everyone, and I mean everyone, everywhere all the time, would skip those smart casual white-to-grey-to-black wardrobes and join me for a feast in colour!
