Mine is being custom made and very elabortate with beading and all. It costs a pretty penny at 300. If you're going for ultra traditional (which I was not, has a big train, open back and extra hand beading) you shouldn't pay a dime more than 200.
You shouldn't have given her that high of a price range right off the bat, I think you set yourself up for getting ripped off. Tell her that price was for an elaborate gown with beads and such the whole 9 yards and say since your will be so much more simple and traditional you think 200 is the most you'll spend.
i visited that shop twice, the owner wasn't friendly, and the service was rude. they charge $180 for a non-silk qipao and $250 for a silk qipao, basically, it all depends on the material you choose for your qipao.
i ended up ordering my qipao from Broade Apparel (info below). She only sells silk qipao and charges $280 each (for the non-beading ones). She did a really good job fitting my qipao (alteration is included in the $280) and very detailed.
however, since you don't live around the area and wont' be able to get your fitting from her, you can get a much cheaper qipao in Chinatown.

Thanks ladies just ordered the samples from efushop. I have two favorite designs in mind and since the price is so affordable I might order both since we are having another reception in California a few weeks after our wedding in Florida!

In the process of ordering my "other wedding dress" my Qi Pao (traditional Chinese wedding dress).... My FMIL is purchasing the dress for me as a gift in California at a local shop by her home heres the website: www.vinshopusa.com.
The reviews on this place ummm...not so great like major rip off complaints and rude shop owners. I have been rest assured by my FMIL and FSIL the quality is superb at this shop as Qi Pao's go. First off, does anyone know how much these are supposed to be when they are custom? I gave a $300.00-$400.00 range to the shop owner over the phone(I'm in Tampa, Fl). I do not want my FMIL ripped off! I'm a simple girl I don't need anything to elaborate. I'm a very practical bride and I hate not knowing what the cost is supposed to be before purchase.
Can you show off your Qi Pao!?!
