What bothers me is when people try to re-sell modern patterns on Ebay at close to their original price. Really!<br />By the way, I can tell you why you probably lost that pattern auction...it is base on a super-famous dress by Claire McCardell called the popover dress. Look it up! So not only is the pattern cute, it is more collectible than others.Alyssahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204598010453409678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8218633955785619491.post-47607170485754272382011-04-15T04:16:42.535-07:002011-04-15T04:16:42.535-07:00CUTE housedress pattern!

I think the problem is that not enough people are sewing compared with in the 40s, 50s and 60s. At that time clothing was more expensive so most women sewed. Now, at least in the Western world, women sew mostly because they want to. You can buy a RTW dress cheaper than you could make a dress. The less demand there is for patterns the higher the prices go.<br />I love that Vogue 5510 pattern by the way.Camelia Crinolinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13255747263262874628noreply@blogger.com
