I just came up with it:
Anything made in:
Domestic Arts I-IV, Novice Tailor, Casual Wear I, Field Wear I, and Formal Wear I = 1,000 credits
Casual Wear II, Field Wear II, and Formal Wear II = 2,000 credits
Casual Wear III, Field Wear III, and Formal Wear III = 3,000 credits
Casual Wear IV, Field Wear IV, and Formal Wear IV = 4,000 credits
Mastor Tailor = 5,000 credits
This is just base. Then I add 500 credits per sockets that it has. So a Decorative Vest (Formal Wear II) with 3 sockets would cost 3,500 credits.
I don't know how much to add for bio-components. Should I just charge a 30% upcharge of what I get them? Then certain items require lots of factory stuff...but I was hoping everything would balance out in the end...and should I be charging more?
any input would be great,
thanks

The Tailor that I'm a Master Merchant for uses Tiaga's prices. (Then I do my iddy biddy mark up on them.) hehe Granted, she's not a master tailor yet .. and to my understanding, she has a ways to go, but that is still the prices list that she uses. I don't *think* she charges any more for sockets. I'll have to ask her. But Tiaga's site can be found below

Personally I keep the artisan clothing low priced, between 100-1000 credits, mainly because I do get asked if I have items a new player can afford. I'm still making a profit on it all (fp and inert petrochem @2cpu and hide being free) but it makes my store newbie friendly and they often come back later on to buy the more expensive items of clothing when they can afford it 
And all my clothing is priced based on resources used with an extra for factory crates, I used the tailoring calculator which is linked to in the sticky.

Haha, I use Tiaga's site as a pricing guide too...no prices on the jewelry though, guessing cause she didnt used to make them before the patch came out or something =/
