If we say "cette jupe" instead of "la jupe"

Bonjour. If I were to say "cette jupe coute 30 euros" instead of "la jupe coute 30 euros", would the exclamation then be (for example, a friend reacting to it) "c'est cher" or "elle est chere?"

This question relates to:French lesson "Standalone adjectives after c'est are always masculine"

Chris W.C1 Kwiziq Q&A super contributor Correct answer

Whether you say cette jupe or la jupe, you would still respond most often with c'est cher:

Cette jupe coûte 30 euro. -- Oui, c'est cher.
La jupe coûte 30 euro. -- Oui, c'est cher.
