Great stuff ladies.

Im putting this under purchases instead of patterns because this WAS a purchase. Stupid bidding wars :rage:

*sigh* It had to be done.
Its my exact size AND its a dress AND coat in one!! COME ON!!!
You know how you see something, and a light goes off inside you, and you know it has the chance to be pricy, and you know if you dont get it youll regret it for the rest of your life? Yeah, that was this. Im still kneading out the sting of the purchase, but I think Ill make it :)

Its spaghetti and salt for the next two weeks!

My land, yes, I know EXACTLY what you're saying. I was like that about that second nightgown pattern I got. It went for about half as much as I was willing to pay, but I WAS willing to pay it.

I am having this sweater/cami made from an etsy shop, it is a knitting pattern form 1952, it has a detachable yoke, that you can decide on how to look. I am having it made in ivory, with the yoke in ivory with little light blue snowflakes on it!

Oh, I want 12 of these!
I've been trying lately to buy more of my clothing at local vintage shops because I want to wear the clothes right away. I hate waiting for all the cute items I buy online!
But I will have to make an exception for this...it's too adorable and such a price!

Lady Day, I figure it all balances out: some things are tremendous bargains, so you deserve to have a little splurge now and again!

My rationale exactly! (I'm currently rationalizing mondo purchases from the vintage expo in Santa Monica yesterday) :D :D :D
