[Steppes] Toryn's Tribe on safari

Mon Apr 14 08:33:31 PDT 2003

They ahd really cheap ones (pastel colored cotton eyelet) for $10 and then
others well into the hundreds of dollars. most of the non polyester ones I
saw silk primarily were in the $125-$175 range. I was in 'just looking'
mode, I can't afford anything right now and look terrible in easter egg
colors.

Dear Lete,

I've been lurking and listening to your comments regarding sari's, and I've
been considering purchasing an outfit. I hesitate to ask though, How much
does
one cost? I mean are we talking hundreds here? How much $ should I take with
me on a trip to this Fabric World? I would love to go ME but I have'nt got a
clue where to start. Any suggestions?
