Random coveting post

I really, really like the Gallery Serpentine "Mourning Coat" (it's the first one on this page).

Do I like it enough to spend around $500 US on it? I dunno. But goodness, it's pretty.








Still craaaaaaanky. But I haven't hissed at anyone yet.

I've been eyeing that coat for ages. I covet it greatly.

Hrm, the exchange rate must not be what it used to be!

Yes, you need it. In red.

The U.S. dollar has sucked for quite some time now. I've heard that the AUS $ is currently the highest it's ever been against our currency.

Step away from the credit card.

But but but! It's so elegant and Victorian-goth!

Dratted husbands are NO FUN.

MM wouldn't let me buy a vintage Chanel bag the other day.

The corporate firewall laughs at that link

I believe there is a pattern like this available from one of the big 3 patternmakers in the US. Even if you went for uber-cushy velvet, having it custom made shouldn't cost more than $300.

The only reason I'm not wanting one is that it is too long, and I don't look good in long. lol

I'm all over the priest coat on that page. Maybe we could get a group discount?

Oh, that is just gorgeous! I completely understand the covet!

Ohjaysusfuckingchrist.
Them=$500
Me=$100

Your 2 velvet mandarincollarprincessseambattypointbuttondown tops should be done in no more than 2 weeks. Work has been killing my stamina to sew for for then 2 hours a night, tops. My apologies for the TARDiness.

Yep, total tard. That *should* say:

Not to mention the long term decongestant use for whatever is triggering my allergies has turned me loopy.

I figured work was sapping your will to live. I will cheerfully wait patiently for the new overdresses.

Sooooo, $100? I'm assuming that's after cost of fabric, because if it isn't, I will beat you for under-pricing yourself again.

[bluejay23.livejournal.com]

Velvet or brocade i'm assuming? And yes, that is after the fabric cost. :p

[ozitonaranjo.livejournal.com]

I want that coat! If I wore it to work every day I think I could justify the cost...
