Found one at the vintage expo today that was not 60s or over $25.

Factory fold, $10
I also met the lovely lady who runs woodland farms antiques and told her how much we *loved* her store. What a lovely lady!

Casey, I can't wait to see how you make everything up! Especially if you make the 50s ones.

 

[Audrey Horne]

Thanks DPD!

Lady Day: What a bargain, it's lovely!

Casey: So many cute things! I can't wait to see you make Lauren's sailor outfit.

I know, RIGHT LOL
They are just ruffles. Such an odd place for them. But Im sure you can unset a pocket beneath them, no prob.

This one will be my next repo

This first pattern is so gorgeous! I especially love it with the short sleeves.

Hello ladies,

A friend sent me a link to www.sovintagepatterns.com after I was talking about learning to sew so I could make myself vintage stuff. I have been following this thread (amongst others) to start learning some of this stuff. I had a look at the site and I am wondering how their prices compare to other places, auctions, etc. They seem a little bit high based on what I have read here. So, those of you who know way more about this than I do, how are their prices?

 

[Lady Day]

Their patterns are obscenely priced. Always have been. And I *hate* how they rarely list sizes in their item descriptions.

ITs funny, some of the patterns they have, Ive had in my own collection and they are always 3-5 times the asking price.

I suppose if you want a ball gown, you could shop that site, but I visit it every 3-4 months and they dont rotate their stock much.

[Lauren]

LOVE that blue dress on the Dubarry pattern! Lovely!

Ditto what Lady Day says... it is quite expensive, but they do have some awfully dreamy patterns.

 

[Lady Day]

Case in point, this pattern.
They are asking $55. I got mine for $15. lol

For a SLIP! no less!

They're prices are pretty high. HOWEVER, they do have some of the more unusual patterns. If I fall in love with a pattern there, I will spend some time trying to find it from other sources. If I can't find it, I'll bookmark it and think on it for a week or so. Generally, something turns up that is similar enough at a much better price. So far, I haven't purchased anything from them. My favorite source is still eBay. Yes, it can be competitive, but you'll also find gems where the seller doesn't know what he has and lists it for $0.99 or you just happen to be the only bidder. Only you know what your budget can allow, but I think long and hard about any pattern over $20.
