from memory, with the fabric supplied. Cintya quotes all prices in A$ so when you pay her there is no need to exchange money.
The dress we had copied was originally from Kids a Gogo in Seminyak and cost around $35 so I was happy to pay $20. It was an empire line dress with a shirred bodice & very full skirt so used more than the average amount of fabric for a size 4 dress. I also had the design tweaked a little bit as the original was a bit low cut on the chest for my liking and Cintya also altered the existing dress for me without me even asking her which was nice.
The best thing about having clothes made for my daughter in Bali is not necessarily the cost, but being able to having something unique and tailor made for her as I usually have trouble finding things to fit (she is tall & skinny, lucky thing LOL). I am quite particular about what I will dress my daughter in too (not a fan of the kids dressed as mini adults trend) and she liked being able to pick out fabric & have a dress made just like Mummy did, while still being age appropriate for her. Worth it IMO.
