This is such a big yikes! She completely disregards (or just fails to realise) that the prices tailmakers set on their products aren't just for the materials, it's also for the years of experience the tailmaker has accumulated, the money they have invested getting the right tools to make them, the (probably many) years of practice involved in honing the skills of making an actual design from scratch, the knowledge of which materials to use to get specific end results, and the ability to put all of that together.
THAT'S what you're paying for! Anyone with half a sense of a sewing can sew a plain tailskin, but it takes a lot of skill to make a stunning design, then taking that 2d design and turning it into a silicone tail or fabric tailskin.
For my part it's the complete and selfish disregard for small entrepreneurs who have gone through the daunting process of starting their own business, and that they both need and deserve to have a living wage from their craft.
I loathe art thieves. Kraken take them all!
