It seems almost unbelievable; I've been looking for this pattern (I like the jacket) since 2 years with disappointing results.
Once it was in a lot of 50 patterns at very high total price of the lot and the seller did not want to sell it separately , then I missed an other auction at the last seconds, then an other seller did not want to send to Europe, then it was in an other lot of patterns and did not appear in the global search ,and then....and then....and then .... :O
It doesn't seem to be a complicated pattern (I have found the same collar line in the simplicity 6217 and the jacket in the recent vogue 8865 )and I perfectly know it is not an extremely rare one, it often comes back here and there .....it is not one of those usually sold for huge prices ....but well , there is not a ...'happy to meet you' feeling between us .
Does it happen to you too?Are you looking for a quite 'normal' pattern and you do not find it for any reason ?
Have a GOOD day :)
