Don't think so. Found elsewhere for similar.

Probably right.  Imported from America and by Linda Lee.  She has a good reputation.

Seriously?
Did they not do any research before they came up with that price?

it is a nice dress though. I must admit I keep looking at this  https://www.minervacrafts.com/shop/sewing/patterns/ccfp09-closet-case-files-ladies-sewing-pattern-kelly-anorak-coat-jacket but at £22 + another £8 if you want the lining pattern I will just keep looking.
It's not easy being this perfekt

I have this pattern but I definitely don't remember paying that much for it! I got it on eBay, but it wasn't second hand and came from a sewing shop. It was still on the expensive side, but no way near that much.

Methinks Minerva marks up high.

Dragonfly Fabrics have it listed at £18, although it is out of stock.  That sounds bad enough to me!

(The Bristol dress and top pattern from the opening post, that is.)

I might look as though I'm talking to you, but inside my head I'm sewing.

TBH I struggle to justify (to myself) paying much above that for the fabric, let alone adding another £28 for the pattern!
