The ones that got away

Lovely top, and really interesting construction I thought:

Thanks for this. It would be a great way to make a sun top or summer dress that converts to a halter top.

Yes, I fully intend to copy that construction, as well!

I can't believe some of these patterns at $86, just for one! You can get entire vintage Vogue knitting pattern books (with 40+ patterns in them!) for half that!

 

[Lady Day]

$68

The pricing is getting just ridiculous!

 

[Drappa]

Both are ending tonight, but seem to have aroused bidding wars. The blue one is at $126.50 right now!

This one actually has a hole and serious fraying, but is already over $70.

That second dress so neat! Aren't those some of Degas' ballerinas? At least the poses look familiar.

 

[Drappa]

They are ballerinas, not sure if they are based on Degas or just similar? It is super cute, but now at nearly $80, and for a damaged cotton dress quite steep I think.

 

[Lauren]

That is a lot. Probably because the fabric is so cute. Some of the poses kind of look like these paintings

I wish I had the money, and can't believe it sold for so little A Suzy Perette sailor cocktail dress:

Also lost this one:

 

[fuzzylizzie]

That blue stripe is amazing. Do you have a link to the sales page?

 

[Drappa]

^No, sorry I deleted it after the auction ended.

 

[swinggal]

$382.

LD

Wow, I bit on this when I was like $20. That is crazy!!

 

[swinggal]

I really wanted this gorgeous 1930s fashion book. Luckily I copied all the pics they did have on display. went for over $100

And these shoes, I forgeot about them. Doh! went for $46 bucks.

 

[Lady Day]

So sorry for your losses, swinggal.

[Lady Day]

$104
Considering pattern prices of the past (and even though the one on the right is in repro), that's a steal. All I can say is pattern sales have been desolate these past couple of weeks.

LD, I was watching those. It's getting tragic. I just don't know how people can afford to spend that much on a pattern when the newspapers are filled with unemployment numbers and house forclosures.
