The ones that got away

[Lady Day]

Its worrying me because pattern sales are my primary income right now and my sales have plummeted over 60% in the last two weeks.

Pattern fever has definitely hit the UK, a simple little pattern has sold for £138.00. The much wanted McCall's 4425, well out of most peoples pocket.

$29
That's a lot for a day dress.

I've lost on on this one twice. Once because I forgot to bid. Both times it went for less than 12 bucks.

Missed out on this by $1!!! Arrrg! I would have payed $50 for it as I have very few blouse patterns in my size and this one was beautiful. I was planning to make the 1st blouse in satin crepe. Booooo!!!

If anyone on the lounge won this I would be willing to pay for a copy.

 

[Lady Day]

I might have something a lot like it, Swinggal. Let me look through my stash....

I've bid on this one every time it comes up on eBay, no matter what size. This is the first time I had seen it in a larger size. Did anyone here get it?

 

[Drappa]

Oh no! That is so so beautiful!

I won this in a 38 a bout a year a go.

 

[Drappa]

Anyone here won this Horrockes? I was waiting to see how much it would go for, as this print is quite famous, but even I didn't expect over £300.

[LinaSofia]

wow, Drappa, what a scorcher!! gorgeous. Several people obviously wanted it a LOT, which I can understand, looking at it!

 

[Lusty Haze]

I really wanted this, I was gutted it only sold for £45. I would've paid that... damn!

Oh that is a beauty! So sorry Lusty H!

Beautiful dress Drappa - but an eye-popping amount of dosh, (if money was no object, of course i would have snaffled it without a backward glance)!

I can't beleive I forgot to bid on this book. I've wanted it for ages and the last auction I was watching it went for over $200. This one went for $28.

 

[kamikat]

This pattern went for $51, which is somewhat reasonable for a size 44 pattern, but still out of my price range.

Drappa! I wasn't the winner of this dress BUT i do have a Horrockses in this print. You say it is quite famous, do you know anything more about it? I am a BIG Horrockses collector and it is always great to get to know more about any of the prints i own. Thanks!

Hello Liz!
I say famous meaning I have seen that dress in that print in books (in particular the Horrockses book) and it also came in powder blue if I am not mistaken? I can't recall which page it is on, I'll have a look later.

 

[epr25]

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.

I sold this dress. I can't imagine there are 2. Mine also had a small hole and some fraying around the belt hole area. Was this up for sale in the UK? That's where I sold it to.

This book is mine now, Thanks to lauren. It's amazing.

Sorry, just saw this. I have no idea if it was in the UK or not, it was a while ago. It's beautiful nonetheless.
