@BalooUriza honestly, that is an EXCELLENT point. even like 100, 150 dollars for the full set.
that's like, let's be honest, the kind of money a teenager who is hitting up their first con could conceivably have. and that's the entry level market somebody could REALLY flourish in.
kind of like how i'm so glad lolita fashion has changed with the introduction of taobao brands, so people can try the style proper for like 80 dollars instead of sinking 300 into a brand-name dress.
