Vera Wang Lavender Label Fabrics $1.95/yard

Fabric.com has marked most of the Vera Wang Lavender Label fabrics to $1.95 a yard.  The fabrics appear to be from the Fall 2008 collection. 

I purchased 3 yards of this purple red-flecked wool:

To make a similiar skirt suit:

I had originally pegged this teal boucle:

for a skirt suit, but I love the coat Vera Wang made of the material:

I also grabbed a yard of this chartreuse woven:

for a skirt:

The "techno tafettas", which the above jacket and top are made of, are on sale, but there aren't many colors.  I wish the blue above was available, as I adore the yellow and blue combination! 

There are other fabrics from the same collection (which I did not get), such as the jacquard for this dress, and a navy circle jacquard as well:

Ultimately, I picked up enough to make 4 skirts, 3 suit skirts, 3 shirts, and 3 dresses (plus 2 lining fabrics) for *$35.42* (with a 30% off a $50 order coupon code).  I almost feel guilty about how cheap the order was.  Most of these fabrics will go into storage for next fall, though I did get some spring/summer appropriate cuts. 

I just love off-season shopping: insane prices and, if you pack the items away and forget about them, a pleasant surprise later on.  I purchased a large order of Ralph Lauren chino from fabrics.com last year when they were marked down to $1.95/yard, and now have a large stash to pick from for spring.  Since I am not buying clothing, I'm glad that I can still get an off-season bargain thrill from fabric shopping! 

If you have Monday off as I do, happy long sewing weekend (or shopping?)!
