I'd argue that such input isn't even required. Sassy taking a hundred orders is a consequence of the fact that that's how many ponies want the dress. She even gave Rarity the option to back out.

Either way, Rarity was woefully unprepared for a very obvious leap in demand. From what I can tell, Rarity had made no efforts to prepare for any increase in demand over what she's used to. It seems odd to me that Rarity wouldn't expect that demand would vastly increase when she opens another shop in the larger, more wealthy capital city. Not only that, the most busy day in a shop's life is, generally speaking, opening day. Even if we give Rarity the extreme benefit of the doubt, she should've expected to at least double her demand (double the amount of shops, double the demand). But it seems like there's no additional help prepared and there's no stockpile of dresses to draw from.
