For that matter, why does Gypsy Caravan have their student troupe wear professional-level costumes? That stuff costs a lot of money. A tiered skirt can be over a hundred dollars. A floor-length fringe is forty, their belts can be upward of a hundred. Then there's the cholis (their tops), and the stuff over said cholis, and the turbans, and all the jewelry dripping from every available surface, none of which is cheap....
Mandala's costuming was still good (and still probably not completely inexpensive), but it wasn't nearly as elaborate. I thought it looked better.
