ミナさんのインスタグラム写真 - (ミナInstagram)「⭐ Have you ever wondered why wedding dresses are so pricey? ⭐ I want to elaborate the pricing of Indiebride dresses as I feel that business transparency is super important. So here we go! The key factor in the pricing of Indiebride dresses is that they are handmade and the capacity on how many dresses can be made in a year is limited. The revenue from those dresses needs to cover quite a bit. When you place an order for an Indiebride dress, roughly ⅕ of the money you pay covers the materials and ⅖ the labor and the overhead costs of the time that went into making the dress. The rest is profit that goes into developing the brand. Here’s a little breakdown: ⭐Materials include fabrics, lace trimmings, threads, interfacing, buttons, elastics etc. The fabrics we use cost something from £20 to £70 a meter. One Indiebride dress requires 6-10 meters of fabric ⭐Labor = my salary which covers the time I spend making your dress. ⭐Overhead costs are all the expenses that running a business requires, such as rent, website, broadband, equipment leasing and upkeep, all the software and programs, scissors, rulers, pattern paper etc. ⭐Developing the brand includes for example marketing (software, apps, ads etc.), making new collections, fabric sourcing (fabric fairs etc.) and my salary for the time I spend doing these jobs. Running a small business and producing ecological wedding dresses is pricey but I’m not willing to cut corners when it comes to our ethical and sustainable ethos. I hope this post helps you understand better what you are paying for. You’re not paying for someone’s third holiday home. You’re paying for someone to make a living doing what they do best: for the personal service I offer, the quality materials of our dresses, the design and the process of having your dress handmade from scratch by me. I still do a little happy dance for every order I get and will be ever grateful to my brides who trust me to make the most important dress of their lives. ❤️ Miina xx Photo & Retouch: @lauraviktualiaphoto Models: @jazzfrenchie & tuyet_my_modelpage Makeup: @rosielindfield91from @stylesisters_uk Hair: @emmamayhairfrom @stylesisters_uk」1月29日 17時10分
