Playing devil's advocate here... When you're first starting out, it's hard to determine what your price(s) should be. What will sell (ie, what the market will bear) vs. what will compensate you enough to for your time/materials/etc. She very well could have researched further or gotten feedback or just crunched the numbers better & figured out that she needed to increase her inital prices. Just letting you know how it can be from the vendor side of things sometimes...

I am so sorry about the price increase on the skirt. I understand your frustration, and I want you to know that I'm sorry. If you don't mind hearing what happened on my side, I'd appreciate the chance to explain.

I made that skirt a long time ago. It was actually one of my very first sewing projects, and it took me FOREVER to finish. I actually LOVE the skirt because it represents the beginning of my sewing and costuming career, but I just never wear it, and I really need to reduce the size of my costume closet. I was not entirely sure about how much to list the skirt for, because this is my very first experience with selling my wares online. I ended up listing it for $100 initially. After reading your email, I thought seriously about selling the skirt, and I realized that I didn't want to part with it for less than $175. I then changed the price for the skirt, foolishly, without thinking about how my action would be percieved by you.

I would like to offer the skirt to you for $100 with the fascinator included in that price as an apology for my unintentional rude behavior. It was completely accidental, and I am very embarrassed and sorry.

Please accept my apology. I will create a custom order listing for you that you can purchase if you're still interested.
