I know I should sign up for the owners board but I'm too cheap quite frankly. My studio is wait listed for classes so I don't need to advertise. I could expand but I'm happy as things are. That is why I posted the question here.

Most of the studios nearby are very hush hush about costuming costs. I suppose I could dig but I'd rather have people who are willing to give me the info which is why I came here as well.

So it is common to charge say $65 (flat fee, random amt for these purposes) for all children's costumes to even out the difference between costumes that cost $75 and those that cost $55. I get that in one way but then I also think it is sometimes obvious that one costume costs more than another. I was thinking there might be a standard markup percentage like there is for retail.
