    crazydaisy, that hat is amazing- as well as the rest of your plunder you recently purchased! You're very lovely- you've got the perfect build for the 30s.

    Yup. I really love the mens slacks pattern you posted that you got. I hadn't seen that one before. Great find!

    WOW. Ditto- especially the belted back jacket. Men's patterns are hard to find :(

    I agree- you'll probably get more money for them individually, especially since they're oss and a nice size. Nice patterns, ladies :)

    HA! Yeah! If I ever get around to making it... *looks at giant sewing wish-list* But heck, that wrap around dress has it's own thread, doesn't it? ;)

    Oh my gosh, I made a mail order one up, too, and it was the same deal. the armholes were TINY! And the sleeves were supposed to be flared and they were skin tight. I think I learned the hard way on that one- I'll make up muslins of mail order ones first now, like Vanessa recommends.

    The ones that got away

    Oh, I know! And then I think of how they often split them up into multiple lots and I probably have someone else's pieces and they have mine :eusa_doh: Always nice when a seller says "I don't know if they have the pieces" and then there's a giant note on it that says "Missing pieces"...

    Show us your vintage knitting and crochet!

    SayCiCi- That headpiece is AWESOME. Looks beaded- I think I'd just do it with wire and beads- might be just as fast as crocheting :)

    The ones that got away

    Not too bad, considering how many there are. I've had good and bad luck with lots lately, though- one set I just got, nearly half of them were missing pieces :( Of course, when they say "as is", I guess it's a gamble.

    Is there a name for this look?

    Ah HA! you're right! I have seen that name before "Hostess Set". Very appropriate. Makes me really want one. Especially in velveteen and polka dots like the etsy one.

    Vintage Clothing Prices

    Very good points, gals! I started in the 90s and just since then the prices have gone nuts! I remember finding 40s and 50s stuff all the time, and now most of it is 70s and 80s! Supply and demand, too. If you have patience and know your stuff you can still get decent deals- they're just fewer...

    Is there a name for this look?

    I don't know what it's called, but I love this look. There was a set on Etsy a while ago, but it sold really really fast. Here's a link.

    Vintage Clothing Prices

    I think there's two ways to think of this one: There's the people who love the thrill of the hunt and the bargains- they want to grime through lots of 70's and 80's clothing or through a grimy old house because there might be that amazing 1950's or earlier dream outfit that they can keep or...
