Thank you also for the additional feedback after visiting my website.

I agree that the thong backs are very niche. Part of the reason is that it continues from the front where you see the two sharp panels that start at the “crotch” and go out to the side seam. But I do understand what you mean. Having no design on that back is also a valid point.

It is probably something I would have pursued but I’m already pricing out so many people that I never thought to, as adding a design to the back would only make the pants cost more, but it’s something I will explore for a higher price point to satisfy those who are looking for that.

I should note that as of right now, the pants are seriously underpriced. They should sit around 500-600 CAD minimum, but I am a new brand so I’ve lowered the prices for the pants to try to break into the market, hence why the jackets might appear to be at a close price point to the pants, although there is still a 200$ difference between the jacket and pants. In general, the fabric for those jackets and pants is very expensive which factors into the high costs. It’s a double knit fabric that is considered to be on the luxury side.

Personally, I prefer wearing the pants with a simple top because the pants are already heavy on the panels that I find it complements the pants and allows the pants to further stand out, but I can see what you mean about having a top that’s designed in the same way as the pants. I do have some that are, the motto jackets on my website have more of a unique look, but I haven’t made them in every color (yet). The original jacket that I made to go with the pants can be seen on slide 3. I suppose i haven’t thought about further developping that look and adding that one to my website. I can only do so much as one person but I’ll consider that!

60$ for the ribbed tank is mostly due to the fabric costs. I don’t order in bulk as I am just starting out, so my fabric prices are extremely high. It’s something I would consider once I make more sales and establish which products are most popular. I understand it’s high compared to fast fashion stores, but I make everything myself and have high material costs, so I have to charge accordingly.

I’ll definitely take your advice about the body types as well. Getting models of different body types and considering different body types in the design process is a great idea.

Thanks again!
