Sidestitch.  $136.  WOW.  They used to put people in jail for price-gouging.

@maximillian. Is someone holding a gun to your head forcing you to buy?  The last time I checked, department stores carried merchandise in all price ranges.

@maximillian. Its the rather innovative  fabric from which the garment is made.  Undoubtedly expensive due to the process which makes it so soft and drapey.

Prices have risen.  I suggest you check around at some vendors like Dillards and Nordstrom that offer a similar product as that one.

@maximillian   you are certainly entitled to your opinion.

 

My definition of Price gouging ~ overcharging for an item when an alternative is not available.  The key being "when an alternative is not available."

 

Certainly there are many options for clothing purchases.
