Giveaway #1

Welcome to my blog! I LOVE giving gifts and so I am offering 3 giveaways today. Please check them all out!



The first is a boutique outfit for your sweet girlie! It is a size 4/5. It is made with lots of Amy Butler and Joel Dewberry fabrics. A very scrappy skirt with a sweet little apron adorned with buttons, and a tiny hem of lace at the bottom, complete with a muslin slip underneath for added fluffiness. The top is a pink t-shirt covered with scrappy patches and has cute little shirred side seams. If you are like me and want to make it yourself (or if your girlie is a different size), the skirt pattern is a Pink Fig Pattern featured in the most recent issue of Stitch magazine and the shirt how-to is also from Pink Fig Patterns.


And it twirls! (My daughters favorite part!) Who can resist?


Now, part of the reason I am SOOO excited about today's giveaway is that I am hoping to open my own Etsy shop this summer and I am hoping to get some input from you! Which brings me to the part about how you can win this cute outfit. I am struggling with how to price items in my store. I want them to be reasonable, but still worth my time. So, in your comment, tell me how much you would charge or be willing to pay for this ensemble (oo-la-la! Look at my fancy vocab!). And if you have any experience in this area and have some tips to share, PLEASE do so! I will pick one winner randomly on the 31st from the comments listed. And don't forget to come back for more giveaways when I open my store!

International friends are very welcome!

  1. What a beautiful outfit, and so generous of you to give it away! My daughter is only 3, but it sure would be cute for next summer!!

    I'm clueless about pricing (because I tend to make clothes, or buy them at thrift stores, etc.). But let me guess about $35 or $40? I could see me sending a link to the grandparents when they ask for birthday suggestions. :-)

  2. Wow, what a lovely outfit! For something like that I would be happy to pay about 40 - 45.

    ReplyDelete
  3. I was going to say $40 - $45 and I see I am right there with everyone else. Love this outfit. My daughter would freak if this arrived in the mail. I'll be on the lookout for your etsy store.

  4. This is a very beautiful outfit. Lucky the person who will win this. I agree that it is hard to price items on Etsy. You should probably search for similar items on Etsy and see how much they cost. Then in the beginning when you just open your shop be about 2-3$ less expensive than the competition. Once you have a few sales and people start to know you go with the same prices as similar stores. I would say that this outfit is probably worth 40$ (12.50$ shirt + 27.50-30$ skirt). Thanks for the chance to win.

  5. It's so beautiful!!! And... the perfect size for Hannah!

    ReplyDelete
  6. Sorry again, the Julie comment is from me (Lisa in NV). I would say the outfit especially with the top could go for $50.00

    ReplyDelete
  7. That is adorable. I would say $40 on the low end. If you are looking for a more high end audience then $75 or $80.

    ReplyDelete
  8. I would pay 45 for the skirt and 25 for the top. It is totally worth it. By the way, I had surgery yesterday and i took my quilt with me. 3 different nurses asked where i got it and if they could buy one!! I will totally advertise for you once you get your ETSY shop up and running!!! I love you!

    ReplyDelete
  9. I'd be happy to pay $30-40 for this ensemble. My darling Ella would look AMAZING in this, so hopefully I'll win!

    Fingers crossed!

    ReplyDelete
  10. or if you're willing to ship internationally, I bet you could fetch £20-30 for this in the UK.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  11. I am not sure what I would be willing to pay, because I am cheap--I always flinch at buying because I can sew! But a fair price I think would be a little higher than what most of the comments say--I am sure that you would not be out of line to charge $50-60.

    ReplyDelete
  12. wow. i can't believe you are giving that outfit away. i have 2 girls... and yes, twirly is always good!
    pricing.... i don't know. i guess it depends on price of fabric, supplies, and your time into it.

    ReplyDelete
  13. It's LOVELY! I agree that the $40-$45 ballpark would be more than fair. :)

    ReplyDelete
  14. The top and skirt are adorable. I love the style and fabrics used to create it My idea for a prize is
    around $45.00. Many thanks, Cindi

  15. Oh you should open an Etsy shop for sure...do some sleuthing to find out what similar shops are selling these ensembles for. I would guess around $40-$65 for the shirt and skirt (maybe throw in a headband or matching clips as a differentiator?) I know these would sell quickly; there is a demand for these designer fabrics-- especially for girls' clothing-- especially, especially if those skirts twirl like the photo. That's a requirement for my girls right now :)

    Best of luck to you!!

    ReplyDelete
  16. You have a lovely set here, it's really pretty. I have an etsy shop (and a size 4/5 daughter, lucky me) and I would price that skirt alone somewhere betweent $25-$35, but I can see it going higher, I strive to stay competive and reasonably priced:) Feel free to check out my shop:)

    I can best be reached at http://AmybugsOriginalStyle.etsy.com Thanks for the chance!!

    ReplyDelete
  17. Wow, beautiful outfit! Twirly-ness is also a must-have in my house.
    As far as price...hmmm...$40-45, but that's just a wild guess. I do lots of research if I were you. Good luck! I hope your new endeavor is a success!

    ReplyDelete
  18. This is THE BEST giveaway! Pick me, please!!!!!!

    I'd say...$40.

  19. It is a gorgeous outfit. For pricing, I would figure my costs, and my time, and determine what I needed to get to recreate that item.
    Thank you for the giveaway,

  20. I think it would be perfect for my Fairy girl... who just happens to be a 4/5T. My mom and make most of my girls' clothes but I would say I would expect to pay probably about $15-20 for the top and $35-45 for the skirt.

    ReplyDelete
  21. I was going to say around $30, but I'm a big bargain hunter, so maybe that's too low.

    My 4 year old loves to twirl and would love to feel pretty in this skirt!!

    ReplyDelete
  22. So cute! I love Amy Butler. My little girl won't fit into that for awhile, but she will one day! I would think that between $30-40 would be good.

    ReplyDelete
  23. This is one cute outfit that any girl would love to wear. I would think for the two pieces you will be able to charge $45.

    ReplyDelete
  24. I would say $50 tops, but I know how much work can go into something like this so I'm sure it is worth so much more!
    This giveaway is lovely, I really hope I win!

    ReplyDelete
  25. I agree with the $40-45 range! It's adorable and just my daughter's size!

    ReplyDelete
  26. the skirt is beautiful! the shirt is lovely too. i'm not so great at pricing but i agree that around $40 is reasonable.

    ReplyDelete
  27. Adorable outfit. I would have to say maybe $45-$55 for the outfit.

    ReplyDelete
  28. Pretty! I like how you have the modern look without it being totally funky. Sorry I can't be more help with pricing!

    ReplyDelete
  29. Seems like most everyone agrees to the $40 - $50 range and I think that's totally reasonable. My little girl is a tiny two year old, but I have a 4yo niece who would no doubt LOVE that outfit and, bonus, we'd get it back once she's out grown it!

    I missed the registration period for the giveaway but posted some goodies anyway, so stop by to drop your name in the hat :).

    ReplyDelete
  30. I would love to win this. My little girl won't fit into it for about 2 years, but that's OK. I'm guessing you could sell it for $50. Just a guess though...

    ReplyDelete
  31. You could easily sell the ensemble for $50. Maybe more.

    ReplyDelete
  32. Oh, a twirly skirt. Who can resist.

    Probably about $40-$50

    ReplyDelete
  33. Oh this is so adorable and the perfect size for my grand-daughter. I would expect to pay about $38. for an outfit like this. I am wishing you all the best on your store! And thank you so much for a chance to win this fabulous giveaway!

    ReplyDelete
  34. gorgeous! My daughter would adore this! I'd charge $40, it is designer fabrics! Love it, thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  35. Beautiful outfit!

    Pricing: How long does it take you to make? Set an hourly rate for yourself, then add the cost of your fabric/supplies - then double it for retail. BUT, Etsy can be competitive so you might need to settle somewhere between your hourly rate plus supplies amount and the retail amount. Good advice I got was to set it at the price you are willing to get to set 100 of them in a row or such ... sewing one is fun but make sure you choose enough that you would feel compensated well if you suddenly had to make a LOT of them. :)

    ReplyDelete
  36. What a cute outfit!! I'd charge about $35-$40 for it. g

    ReplyDelete
  37. That is adorable! Love it! As for $, i'm not sure...maybe $40? Good luck opening your shop!

    ReplyDelete
  38. What an adorable outfit, I would probably pay between $40-50. My 3 year old daughter would love it!

    ReplyDelete
  39. If you think about what ugly clothes cost at stores... I would say...$ 30-40?

    It's very beautiful! It would be too big for my daughter now, but would be worth saving, or giving as a birthday gift to my friend whose daughter's birthday is soon.

    What a generous giveaway you are having! Thank you!

    ReplyDelete
  40. What a adorable outfit-love the style and fabric. I'm not good at pricing but I'd say 40-45. I'd check and see what similar outfits are priced at.

    ReplyDelete
  41. Gorgeous! Thank you for the terrific giveaway! I'm terrible at guessing prices, which is why I don't open an etsy shop, but I'd estimate roughly $40 for this ensemble. You're charging for your time AND talent.

    ReplyDelete
  42. My daughter would love that outfit! I would probably spend $40 or so - good luck getting your shop set up, I will keep my eye out for it!

    ReplyDelete
  43. WOW, that is such a gorgeous outfit! :) I would guess that it would sell for $50+ if it was marketed to the right crowd... :) L-O-V-E-L-Y!

    ReplyDelete
  44. An absolutely beautiful outfit! Would fit my munchkin prby next summer~ Thanks for the chance!

    ReplyDelete
  45. Beautiful outfit! I rarely sell things, but when I do, I figure an hourly wage for my time ($10/hr) plus the cost of materials. I would guess this outfit would sell for around $40. Good luck!

    ReplyDelete
  46. oh, you are asking the wrong person, I am soo cheap. But I would think that normal people would pay $40 for the skirt and $20 for the top. (which are adorable, by the way)

    ReplyDelete
  47. i'm a cheapskate, but i would say that 40 for the skirt alone would be reasonable, and another 15 for the top. people realize that you put time into it, and that's what they're willing to pay for.

    ReplyDelete
  48. I usually add up the cost of my fabric, and then set an hourly wage for myself. I add these up, and it is usually a perfect price. (Just make sure it's not a new pattern that will take twice as long to learn) I would say, just from looking at it, I would pay arounnd 60-65 for it, maybe even more.

    God luck with your store!
    Thanks for the chance to win! And for being so generous!

  49. Beautiful outfit. My daughter would surely in love with it! I would say $40-45 easy to make it worth your time!
    crafts.petersen@gmail.com

    ReplyDelete
  50. Absolutely adorable outfit. I have a "twirler" as well that would love it! :)
    Pricing... I would say $40 to start. It's handmade and so cute at that! :)

  51. I just starting selling in my shop.
    I feel like I don't have half the talent of some of the people's shops!
    But you have to start somewhere!
    I would pay $40- due to the fact that it's handmade & fabric is expensive!

    I hope this helps, Ashley

  52. My opnion is probably $35 the set.

    And ooh what a gorgeous and generous giveaway!! Please enter me into the draw.

    ReplyDelete
  53. Its a huge issue pricing, I lost shit loads of sleep over it, in the end you have to decide what the price is that YOU are comfortable with, considering your effort, net costs and also the emotional cost on the family. Don't cut your self short. I would go to the higher end of the market as you are using higher end products. Trust your self, you will charge what's fair and reasonable in the end. Good Luck, the outfits look sensational!!!

    ReplyDelete
  54. Beautiful outfit. I think the $40-$50 range would be a good price for the set.

    ReplyDelete
  55. Beautiful outfit. I'd definately be charging at least USD $40. Good luck with the Etsy store

    ReplyDelete
  56. oh my gosh, my daughter's only in 2T but I would LOVE to save that for her...

    I have to say I don't pay boutique prices - but I'd say the $40 is right on target for what other people charge. I'm too cheap, though, to pay that much...

    ReplyDelete
  57. My grandaughters will love this. I would charge at least $30.00

    ReplyDelete
  58. I would think 30-40 range. It is very nice. I think some people would pay even more. Good Luck to you!

    ReplyDelete
  59. Great outfit! My girlies love twirls! I usually make their stuff, so I'm not good with pricing, but maybe around $35?

    ReplyDelete
  60. It's hard to decided prices. I still struggle with it every time. I scout outfits that are similar to mine..see what they're prices are, think about fabric price, and my time. If this was one of mine I would list it at about $40.
    Thanks for a great giveaway! Love the outfit, can not wait to see your Etsy :)

  61. how adorable!!! I would say around $40-$45 for the entire outfit.It is quite beautiful! you are very talented... I'd love to make one too.

    ReplyDelete
  62. I'm cheap so it would be hard for me to pay you what I know it's worth. I'd expect to see such a lovely set sold for $50-$60 though.

    ReplyDelete
  63. Considering that something like that would probably cost $40 at Gymboree and only be half as nice, i think $50 would be a good price. However, I think you may want to price them separately. $15 for a top isn't bad, and at $35 the skirt seems like a steal!

    ReplyDelete
  64. Beautiful. I'd charge between $40 and $55 for the outfit. Good luck with your etsy store.
    mom0ja@yahoo.com

    ReplyDelete
  65. I would say about $40 as well, but it depends on how much time it takes you to make? I know the idea of pricing is what stops me from selling anything because if I actually add up how long it takes me to make something, plus supplies, I would feel bad charging that much! It is beautiful work!

    ReplyDelete
  66. I think $40 would be about right. So cute!

  67. Really adorable set! My almost 4 year old would love love love it! I'm thinking around $45 would be reasonable

    ReplyDelete
  68. It's so beautiful. I would pay about $35 for it.

    ReplyDelete
  69. This would be great on my little one! I love selling on etsy, and I tend to underprice (stationery not clothing) because I want to make sales. But I understand completely the need to make it worth your time. Check out the book Craft.inc from your library (or buy it) and read their section on pricing handmade items. It's a GREAT book on starting a business selling your "craft". But I agree with everyone else...$40-45?

    ReplyDelete
  70. Love the outfit! I'm slowly branching into sewing clothes, so I know how time-consuming it is. I'd definitely charge $45 for the outfit. Thanks for the entry!

    ReplyDelete
  71. $35-50 for the outfit. If its a unique outfit, I think people are willing to pay extra for that. That's the beauty of Etsy. Good Luck with your store.

    ReplyDelete
  72. wow that is stunning! no idea about pricing sorry

    ReplyDelete
  73. I'll be checking out this pattern!! There's 2 ways to look at this...being someone who sews I probably wouldn't spend more than $30 only because I could actually make it myself, although for someone who doesn't (and trust me there's tons because I get paid ridiciously to hem/fix for people) they'd look at this and easily fork over 50-70

    ReplyDelete
  74. What a gorgeous outfit! My little girl would love to twirl in that too. I bet the shirt would be 15, the skirt between 25-30?

    Thanks for the great opportunity!

    ReplyDelete
  75. I would pay somewhere in the $50 range for the outfit. It's super cute! Thanks for the chance to win one :)

    ReplyDelete
  76. So I guess I entered on the wrong post! I'm an idiot! First of all, impressed with all the comments. How did you get so many?

    Second, of course I want to enter too!

    ReplyDelete
  77. I would charge $35 on the low end and $65 on the high end. Man that is cute. As for advice - keep up with your etsy page. I didn't sign in for a while and someone wrote me asking me a question by the time I got back to answer they purchased from someone else - bad news :( -good luck with your store!

  78. Gorgeous outfit! My daughter is 3 and I would LOVE to have this for her to grow into!!!

    I would be willing to pay about $40 for an "ensemble" like that :-)

    ReplyDelete
  79. This is gorgeous. I would definitely pay $40ish for the whole thing. It's handmade and I would love to see my daughter in it.

    Cute!

    Thanks for the giveaway!

  80. I would agree with the $35-40 range. Beautiful!

    ReplyDelete
  81. My first thought is $39.95. Maybe $45 total with shipping.

    ReplyDelete
  82. Amazing outfit! My little lovely would look sooo cute in this set!! I REALLY want to win!!! If I don't, I have to be your first ETSY customer!! I think a good price point would be $40.00 for the outfit.

    I'm also having a giveaway!

  83. My little girl is turning 4 on Monday and just wearing 4's - this is adorable!! Thanks for the chance :)

    Pricing ?? 55 maybe?

    ReplyDelete
  84. think $45-50 would be a suiatable price for this
    it's lovely

    ReplyDelete
  85. What a lovely twirl it makes! Send my regards to the beautiful model who makes the twirl happened!

    ReplyDelete
  86. Very cute outfit. Would be perfect for my niece. She turns 5 in July. I'm sorry I would not be the one to ask about prices... I'm so use to buying clothes from Target. I know many are way more willing to spend $ on clothes than I am.

    ReplyDelete
  87. The outfit is beautiful. I would expect it to sell for $45 to $50. But as I make clothes and don't buy handmade clothes, I may be undervaluing it. Good luck with your new store.

    ReplyDelete
  88. Gorgeous outfit! I would expect you could easily sell it for $40-$50. Thanks so much for the chance to wim!

    ReplyDelete
  89. My grand-daughter would have been so precious in this, but she is now in Heaven. But....my sweet little great-niece, Allie, would really make it "twirl". I would suggest between $35-$45 for the outfit.

    ReplyDelete
  90. I would pay about $34.56 for that skirt. It would look adorable on one of my nieces.

    ReplyDelete
  91. I would say $40-$50 for the outfit or $25-$30 for just the skirt, but I have no idea if that is a good price range or not :) I think they are beautiful and I would love to see it on my daughter.

    ReplyDelete
  92. I would say $45 at least. It takes lots of time I am sure. I think you would do very in etsyland!

    heathervanhoof[at]yahoo[dot]com

    ReplyDelete
  93. Pricing is so hard...you obviously have to cover materials, which can be expensive, but then if you charge $40 and the materials cost you $35, you only make $5 and you are already on the pricey end of kids clothes *sigh* what to do? I'd pay $35ish for this...

    ReplyDelete
  94. This is beautiful!! My daughter would love it if it twirls :-) As far as cost... I could personally pay around $40 for it, but I'm sure you could get more with a higher end audience.

    ReplyDelete
  95. I'd have no idea what to charge for that adorable ensemble, but I'd probably pay $25-30 for it. But then again, I'm cheap and always tell myself "I can make that at home!" Good luck with the shop.

    ReplyDelete
  96. I am probably the worst person to ask about prices because I buy most of our kids' clothes at the thrift store. I think something like this would be good as a set at about $35 though since I am sure it took a while. In my opinion, you should take the cost of the materials, then add about $15 an hour for your work as a base for pricing (minimum of an hour for creations....so you'd never be less than $15). Maybe I am cheap though. I love this outfit. It is beautiful!
    spondah(at)aol(dot)com

    ReplyDelete
  97. Beautiful! I'd love to win this for my daughter! I'm a terrible person to ask about prices, because I'm a thrift shopper and garage-sale hunter. I'd guess maybe $40?

    ReplyDelete
  98. What a generous giveaway! I'm so cheap that I'm sure I'm not the right audience to ask, but based on other items I've seen for sale on etsy, I'd say $45 would be reasonable ($15 shirt, $30 skirt). Good luck setting up shop, your work is gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  99. Hard to say...and I don't know the difficulty of the fabric...but I know plenty of mamas who don't sew and love boutique style clothing lines...this would count I'm sure. $25-$35...mostly $35 that's a nice number and i don't think it would scare anyone off. :)

    Cute skirt.

    ReplyDelete
  100. That is beautiful! I would say charge $48-$54. Make sure you charge enough though. Maybe sell them separate...instead of a set?


    Thanks for the chance to win!

  101. OH MY! Gorgeous!!

    I can see paying $60 + for the outfit and more depending on sizing.

    Thanks!

    ReplyDelete
  102. for handmade, I'd say an outfit would be about $30-40. Whatever it costs and then some.

    ReplyDelete
  103. what a great outfit. I have two toddlers, so they would have to grow a bit before they could wear it, but I would love to have it. For the entire outfit, I would pay $50.

    ReplyDelete
  104. I have a hard time pricing the things in my Etsy store too. I found the best way to do it is add up all the fabric, notions etc used to make the item and then times by 2. That keeps the price low (a little too low if you expect to be paid for the time used to make the garment), but it's competitive and allows for some profit. I also go to the post office with the garment and packaging I intend to use and ask the post person to quote me a price for shipping. That way I'm not that far off in my guess.

  106. Boy, that's tough. I have a four year old girl and for a special event, maybe $30.
    I think I'm going to win!

    ReplyDelete
  107. I am really clueless as to how much to charge for an item. I tend to make all of my little one's skirts, so I don't shop for handmade ones. Maybe around the $30 range? On the other hand, this is the perfect size for her right now, so please enter us into this drawing!

    ReplyDelete
  108. I don't know... $30? I am horrible at this kind of thing. I am cheap with kids clothes (because I can sew my own things). But it is gorgeous!

    ReplyDelete
  109. This is so cute! My grandaughter would look darling in it and I can already picture her twirling around wearing it. She twirls around without a swishy skirt on! As for the price, I would think somewhere around $50.

    ReplyDelete
  110. gorgeous! how much fabric did it use? the amount would affect my pricing.
    pricing is so difficult. time plus materials is so undervalued.
    how much did materials cost and how many hours did this take you, start to finish? i know that tallies to more than most people can pay. the most i could pay would be $45 for a special occasion outfit.

  111. i have seen boutique ensembles such as these start at $40 and go all the way up to $200 on ebay (seriously) - none as cute as these though :)

    anyway, i have a little princess that would LOVE to wear this outfit probably every day!

    thanks for the opp to win!

  112. So beautiful, beautiful, beautiful!! I love OOAK custom clothing so much. It is one of the joys of having a little girl. I have bought several OOAK items on ebay and occasionally have a Fancy Friday review on my blog of custom clothing but since I natually so thrifty this is a hard one. I am going to say--$45.00. However, with this economy I've noticed custom clothing struggling a little bit. I've known a few different ebay stores close down. So prices may have to come down a bit until people have more money.

    ReplyDelete
  113. I don't know much about kids clothing, but maybe 60$. It is handmade after all and a whole outfit.
    You can contact me via a comment on my blog or the email provided there.

  114. oh my i have 3 girls two of whom will fit into this sweet creation! thanks for you generosity.

  115. I think your market would dictate your price - if you are selling to people who are used to being able to buy cheap imported clothes you would have to sell for less than if they appreciated the work that went into handmade and were willing to pay for it. I'm in New Zealand so it's hard for me to judge US prices - once converted to NZD they all seem steep! But I agree with the ballpark figures others have mentioned above.

    It's such a gorgeous outfit though, I definitely think you should be aiming for the high end of the market!

  117. I think most people are saying $30-$40 and I think I would agree.
    If you look through any of the kids clothing catalogues available these days and see what a mass produced matching set would run you and then decide how much your time and energy and materials are worth then you'd probably be in the right margin.
    Love the shirring on the sides of the shirt. Must try this.

  119. Wow! What a great giveaway! Thanks!

  120. That is so cute! I would think you could price that for about $40. Especially online. I think you could put it more at $60 for a brick and mortar boutique. Thanks for a great giveaway!

  121. I need to win that for my little girl! It's gorgeous. You could charge about 40.

  122. Your outfit, and daughter are simply lovely. I would be so honored to win your giveaway. I think the outfit would be priced around $40...I have never made clothes, and I hope I dont offend you with this price, but I know I would not pay more than that.
    Thank you for a chance to WIN it.

  123. OH my! That skirt is just adorable! My granddaughter would look so cute wearing and twirling around in that. Wondeful job and the fabrics are so pretty too.

  124. I tend to be more willing to make my girls things than buy them - I'm just too darn cheap. That said, for a special occasion I would spend $35 for the set - thinking $10 for the shirt and $25 for the skirt. I'm always thinking about shipping on top, though, so the total cost would be $40? To me that's a lot. But not to other people who don't sew. I think my mom spent $65 for a little swing dress and bloomers for my niece's second birthday outfit.

    Good luck in your venture. My girls (the 5 year old, then the 2 year old soon) would both love to wear your ensemble. :)

  125. The outfit is great. I would agree with others about checking the competitions rates and pricing just a little less to get more sales. Good luck!

  126. I am a bad one to ask about prices because I am a huge thrift store junkie. If I saw this in a "real" store though I'm thinking around $40?
    Hugs,

  127. Hmm...I'm thinking $35? I'm horrible at pricing though.

    Good luck with your new store.

    Hugs & Blessings!

  128. I think that a good price would be around $50.00. Gook luck opening your shop.

  129. I'm terrible with pricing. I think there is formulas you can go by though for handmade. Try googling it. Something along the lines of your cost + time, etc. Good luck & darling skirt!

  130. Oh man, what an incredibly generous giveaway! I'd for sure pay $40ish for this.

    ReplyDelete
  131. This outfit is absolutely precious! I would say $40-$50. Love the assortment of fabric you used.

    ReplyDelete
  132. I can't see myself paying more then $40 for that. It's very cute, though.

    ReplyDelete
  133. It looks so high end and boutique ! I wouldn't flinch at charging $60 for the set if I was the maker, but I PERSONALLY would only buy at $30. But I'm on a tight budget.

    ReplyDelete
  134. I love the outfit. Pricing...since it's truly "one of a kind" you can ask a little more. You have to count in how much time it took you as well. If it were me, I'd charge about $40. Maybe even up to $50. I've seen outfits that were much more plain skirts and tops in baby boutiques go for $80-$100.

  135. i'm a photographer and that eye catching ensemble is fantastic - it's definitely boutique quality that i'd be willing to be somewhere between $60-$80 for - would love to win it for my 3 1/2 year old - something to grow into for a future photo session with mama! great work!

  136. Beautiful outfit! In a boutique you could get probably $60+ for it!

  137. You have a wonderful talent. I am the last person to ask about pricing because I don't pay full price for much of anything. I look for clearance or buy clothes at the thrift store. I would probably think of paying $25 for the cute outfit. I for sure wouldn't pay more than $30.

    ReplyDelete
  138. I'm guessing you would have to think about your market. Are most customers stay at home mom's or do a lot of people on etsy work outside the home? I guess there's no way to know. I cannot afford much because I'm a SAHM and I homeschool. This is the prize I really hope to win because I have a precious size 4 niece I love to dress up.

    I would say between $25 to $40 is what I could pay. You could also just sell a skirt seperate from tops. To keep prices down for people.

    I don't think my price idea is really enough reward for your hard work though. You could take each suggestion here and average them all together and that should your price. LOL

    Good luck. I'll be back, hopefully to buy something yummy from you.

  139. this is SO so lovely! the colors and fabric choices are amazing and you are right - the twirling IS the best part!
    i'd pay around $40/$45 for the whole thing. thanks for the chance to win. i know a little gal who would love a twirly skirt for her b-day!

  140. I don't know how much time these outfits took, and that has to be considered, but I think $15-25 for the top and $35-45 for the skirt would be reasonable. I hope you get some great pricing ideas!

    ReplyDelete
  141. Wow! I would think about pricing that little number at about $40-$45!

    ReplyDelete
  142. Probably around $30-35 is what I'd pay. (but hopefully I'll just get it for free...*fingers crossed!*) Thanks for the chance to win!

  143. Such a gorgeous outfit! This is exactly my daughter's size. What luck.
    I would think that reasonable pricing for this would run from $40-50. You are using high quality fabrics do I think that justifies a slightly higher price.
    Thanks for the participating in giveaway day!

  144. I think the $30-$40 range would be reasonable. I have no tips, though, since I have no experience! The outfit is SO cute!

    ReplyDelete
  145. I'd happily pay up to $50 for an outfit like that!

    ReplyDelete
  146. Ooh I hope I'm not too late for this incredible giveaway - the outfit is completely my daughter - both size and colors! I would happily pay $40 plus shipping (about $5).

    If you have any questions about selling online, please feel free to contact me, really. Between my online shops I ship about 2-3 items a day and I LOVE to help others to get started online :) thanks for the great giveaway!
