Miguel when a customer asks for something to be made does your wife
state her price before she starts or after she has completed the job?
It is also a good idea to take a deposit before starting, this can help to
cover any loss if somebody decides they do not want to pay.
I think everybody is trying to look for ways to get things done cheaper,
and they do not realise the true cost of things.
Let her explain why she is asking for the amount for the job. If they don't
like it then they should find another dressmaker.
Life is all about choices
