Eureka!

I think I've got myself a deal.

For $50, the folks at Garb the World are apparently willing to custom-sew velvet dresses to any specifications, in any color your heart desires.

I love it when the internet contrives not to disillusion me about my idealistic notion that if I just spend enough hours searching, I can find anything on it.

Plus, you can see now what an educational person I am to have on your friends list. Next time you develop an urgent craving for a very particular type of velvet dress, you'll know exactly where to go. Because you know, everybody does realize sooner or later that they desperately need a velvet dress. Just because it may not have happened to you yet, don't go getting any silly ideas about being immune to the craving. It'll happen to you, sooner or later.

do u have to buy the velvet yourself?

and how much are shipping charges?

(i once tried buying a pair of 5 dollar shoes of off hot topic, but with all the shipping charges it would have been more then 50 u.s.)
to me, 50 u.s dollars is like 77 canadian dollars. and thats almost 10 hours of work. blah. nooooo.

To the best of my knowledge it's $50 total. But I'll let you know how it goes when it's all finished. Right now all I've done is sent an inquiry.

Okay, I paid for it now. There would have been an $8 shipping charge, for a total of $58, but the lady gave me a voucher for free shipping. I dunno why . . . she just did. So it was only $50 for me. Its not the first time I've spent that much on a dress, so it doesn't seem unreasonable to me.
