Look What I Lucked Upon! Butterick 2347

Once again excuse the watermarks. :-) I am still pinching myself. I cannot believe that I lucked upon such a beautiful pattern. A priceless treasure that an unknowing seller let go of for next to nothing. I got this pattern off of ebay a while back. In the listing the seller noted that all the pattern pieces were there, but that the instructions included in the envelope were for another dress. So as you can imagine, a pattern like this is a treasure even without the instructions. So I say to myself, "I'll bid on it anyway." I win the pattern. Wait the few days or so to get it in the mail. When I get it and open it up to inspect it low and behold there is an instruction sheet there, and it DOES actually belong to this pattern! I'm assuming that the seller knew absolutely NOTHING about sewing patterns to have made such a HUGE blunder. On ebay I would expect a pattern like this to sell for close to $100 if not more. I lucked out and got it for approx $20. Yaaaay!

Until next time,
