That dress is made in a sweatshop owned by the Communist party of China though.

Possible. More likely it would be average Chinese workers in a sweatshop, conveyor-style, with each making a specific operation over and over (i.e. one worker on zippers, another does buttons, the third stitches the top, etc.)

It has more to do with companies (both local and international) abusing cheap labour in China and SE Asia, and, well, people wanting cheap goods. Remember that 90% of the humans (everyone living outside of EU, North America & Japan/South Korea) earn much less than a thousand dollars/Euros a month. It's silly paying 2500$ for a costume when that could feed your family for the better part of a year. And yeah, Chinese environment is completely screwed... my friend who worked as a dance coach in China had to return to Europe because he started coughing blood from inhaling too much smog. Locals get used to it over decades living like that. Russia has a similar problem to China in its Asian part where factories completely destroy habitable life. Plus radiation from the failed nuclear tests. That too... there, people think that a $40 dress is too much so they buy cheap alcohol instead.

@invalidname.pleasetryagain122 their working conditions are a direct result of decades of futile attempts to build communism, had Chinese not jumped to market economy in time, they'd be starving like North Korea, Cuba or Venezuela. Or, you know, like in Maoist China.

90% of world's population would gladly take a job that pays that. Chinese workers who sewn that dress can hardly make that much a day.

@mollynguyen834 they even misspelled "Ma de" is the point.

11:30 LMAO, no way a seamstress outside of First World gets 15 dollars an hour, or even half of that. I doubt they get that much for a day's work in China.
