I knew a girl who bought hers for the equivalent of roughly $7,000. And they only wear it once to take pictures in. Sure, you can rent them, but it's not "cool" if you do.

The V ain't so important either. Nonetheless, it's a great festival for them and the proud parents. A coming-of-age ritual could be anything.
