All from the same seller and all went for totally reasonable prices! Aw well. I really wanted that hollywood. I loved the sleeves. LOVED the dolman sleeves on the McCall, too.

I love the Hollywood pattern. I am a sucker for dresses with button on aprons.

Lady Day · Dec 30, 2010

That Hollywood sold for $5!
I just forgot about them! Crud!

I lobe obscure sewing pattern booklets and this one I found on some random eBay search. Its got great war time references in it from the pics posted in the listing. It was badly listed (I can't believe people still do that!) so I totally could have gotten it. I just forgot about it and it only went for $13!

I really wanted this one, but forgot to increase my bid:

And wasn't bidding on these, because they went wayyyy out of my range, but so pretty:

7 bound issues of Harpers Bazaar from 1935 and 1936.
The high bid beat me by $5 :cry:

Ugh! I can relate to you guys...It seems like I am always forgetting about an important auction (no matter how I try to remind myself) or the high bid beats me by a dollar or some silly amount. Super frustrating. -.-

LadyD that hat pattern has reduced me to heap! OMG how amazing, and in a bigger size too. Aghhhhh! Was it on Ebay that you saw it as I never see those turn up there.

Kimberly Pota · Jan 30, 2011

Just what I was dreaming of.....

but I'm afraid the price tag is just way out of my league. :eusa_doh: So this one I'm considering a loss already:

You should save some of those photos if you're interested. you van probably find a pattern that is similar or someone to copy it for you for a great deal less. It's very pretty.

Yeah, it was on eBay. I got a different one instead of that one. I wasnt too keen on the styles, but if I had know it was gonna go that cheap I would have bid!

Ridiculous pattern price of the day.

Bwahahaha! That's awesome! She knows you can buy *vintage slips* for less than that, right? It's not even in great condition!
