Yet the same, rational Jiminy Cricket would make sense of it all. Say\u00a0I wear it every other day. The cost per wear would average to about $5 per outing. It&#8217;s in the numbers, and the numbers, my dears, always speak the truth. Or so those scientists and mathematicians and public educators claim. $600, Six hundred dollars, six Bejamins, oh my. All for a lovely piece of elasticated fabric, cut, sewn, and hemmed within a minute&#8217;s time. I suppose the extra zeros hanging at the end of the price tag are added to compensate the delicate workmanship: the fabric must be cut not straight (like all other bodycon skirts I&#8217;ve seen), but curved.
