> Ooooh! Give us an example of the prices.
I'm afraid I really didn't have time to look at the prices of the fabrics as
we were too rushed, it was the range and quality that hit me in the face. I
haven't seen such stuff for decades.
We only bought 4 made up items from the place we went to. It was one that
the Vietnamese guides took us to so we figured thay would be getting a
kickback from this place and also this place wouldn't bargain at all (and
that is just about unheard of). We assumed that we could have bought
cheaper elsewhere if we had both the time and the inclination to go
elsewhere.
However, having said that, I had made a pair of linen slacks with pockets
and an elastic waist and two sleeveless, scoop necked linen tops (one
matching the pants and one contrasting) with long invisible zips in the back
for $US90. My husband had made a pair of trousers for $US35.
