For insurance reasons you need to find something like it with a price tag to use as your baseline. What would it cost you to replace it is the name of this game.

Hi! This is a slightly off-topic question, but as I'm in the middle of the post-Pennsic garb cleaning binge, spending hour cleaning hems and steaming wrinkles gives one a lot of time to ponder the value of the fabric and time in one's garb. So I started wondering whether I should get a rider on my insurance to cover the garb, and realized I had no idea how to estimate the value in question. In most cases I know how to estimate the fabric cost, but how do I estimate labor, especially on things with 100+ hours of embroidery? I'm not a pro seamstress, so I'm somewhat at a loss...
