Out-of-season

No time like fall to buy up patterns for beachwear, right? I bought these both because I just couldn't decide, and they were both cheap. I love the top on the McCall one, but I also like the idea of an all-in-one playsuit like in the Hollywood one. And the McCall top would look good with the Hollywood skirt, too, so I can shuffle the bits all around if I like.

I am weak over the power of the dickies, collars, cuffs and the large crazy neck flower:

Ladies, thank you for your feedback regarding selling vintage patterns on eBay. Your expertise is very helpful!

I have one more question, under which category do you list your vintage patterns? When I searched for vintage patterns, I found multiple categories that they would fit under:

Collectibles/Sewing (1930 - now)/Patterns
Crafts/Sewing/Patterns/Vintage
Antiques/Sewing/Patterns

Which do you usually list your dresses under? Which catergory do vintage pattern collectors check most? Any thoughts would be greatly appreciated. Thank you!

Collectibles/Sewing (1930 - now)/Patterns

This is the only category I look under, and seems to be the most used one.

My recent ones!

I bought plaid flannel for this.

Light green linen.

I really like the neck of these dresses, do you think they will be easy to wear?

Mrs Beattie - I saw a pattern just like the bottom one recently (different size) and I LOVE that collar. I'd enjoy seeing pictures once you finish!

This was the last of my freelance spending cash.

Im excited. I hope the cup size is large enough (prolly not) but I dont think it will be too hard to adjust.
Back to poor.

[kamikat]

LD, that is a major score in that size!

 

[Lady Day]

Thanks you two!

LD, that is a major score in that size!

I know! Id NEVER seen an undergarment pattern in this size, ever. Had to have it. Its easily one of the jewels in my collection now.

I love absolutely everything about this outfit. *drool*

Thanks! I really like interesting necklines like on the second dress. I'm not sure why they wouldn't be easy to wear, though.

I really like the three you got from your friend, Amy Jeanne!

I am salivating over that simplicity premier pattern. This thread always makes me want to go get more patterns on Ebay but I really need to focus on making up the patterns I already have at home.
