    Awesome topic! I’ve found some excellent bargains in my time. Here’s my post: http://fashion-outlaw.blogspot.com/2006/05/carnivale-of-couture-your-best-bargain.html

    Oh, and I’m a total newbie to the world of fashion blogging. I hope there isn’t another Fashion Outlaw out there already!

    In the 80’s I had a long black Anny Taylor trouser skirt that fit me perfectly and I wore it for about 5 years until it was in tatters. The skirt was only $60 at the time, and I must have worn is at least 100 times.

    Only recently did I find a replacement, which is pattern from HotPatterns, so now I can make myself replacemnts as each one wears out!

    Sorry, can’t limit it to one. My first great bargain was a Burberry classic trenchcoat, with wool lining and collar attachments, obtained from a thrift store in Hampton, Virginia, for fifty dollars. It was in mint condition and worth at least $900.00. My second bargain was a Brooks Brothers green cotton twill -not poplin- three-piece suit which I purchased for about eleven dollars, also at a Hampton thrift store. The suit would have an approximate value of at least $300.00.

    Aaaaiiieee! I must surely get my blog up and running in response to this. Am I limited to only one? I have made some funderful scores, but in terms of Biggest Bargain, I would have to say it was a pretty patchwork mink coat, in good condition and my size, which cost me $2.00. Yes, that is two of the American dollars. It is currently barricaded in storage, so I’m not certain if it still fits, of course…

    Another great bargain was The Coat From Hell, which I made myself, from chunks of fabulous wool broadcloth laboriously matched at a pound sale, at probably $2-3 per yard, and two chunks of almost matching sunbak satin lining. I probably spent under $50 to make a wonderful coat which has held up for 17 years in craptastic weather.

    My best-ever bargain was my wedding dress. I wanted to wait till I could post a picture, but I’ll do the story first, and the pic later.
