What is the difference really about getting a dress designed from buying it off the rack? What characterizes one from the other?
A designed dress is made to order and sewn after measurements, fitted and adjusted over several times, to get the best fit. It is usually more elaborate and made in some quality materials.
This is a time consuming process. But then the dress is also totally unique, because it is one-of-a-kind and the price of course reflects that.
If you get a dress made to order, the price depends on the model, the cuts, the details, the fabric and the fabrication method, as well as the amount of money you are willing to spend on yourself.
It is always agreed in advance so people know what to expect. They get what they pay for.
Ready-to-wear is, on the other hand, cheaper because it is mass-produced in a completely different quality in China or Eastern Europe, where labor costs are much lower. So of course, price and quality also reflects this.
The profits of the shops are usually 3.5 times the production price of the mass-produced product. For example, if you buy a piece of clothes for 500, - DKK, it approximately costs 140, - DKK to get it produced.
The producers must also have a profit, so what is left is what the workers/seamstresses in the countries concerned receive.
