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.

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!

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

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