I love pattern 1165. But how are patterns priced? I saw it at $16.50 and then in the pattern book it is $27.50. I wanted to try it but for $27.50 I would like more than just a blouse for $27.50, maybe pants and skirt could be added. But I ended up with the pattern for $3.99 on sale, so this is great, but would not have paid $27.50 for just a blouse.
