It looks like a real vintage 1940s or 50s pattern in decent condition can cost anywhere between $7 (etsy and ebay) and $150 (boutique internet shops). I'm serious. $150 for a pattern, not a constructed dress or even the materials. Cray-zee. Most on etsy are from someone's (lovely!) grandmother's attic, and are around $25.
As a side note, vintage sizes run smaller, so your truly has to bite the bullet and shop plus size. Pattern sizes can be altered through geometric rips in the space-time continuum with something called a "french curve", but I didn't take physics in high school, so I'm going to hold off on that particularly tortuous experiment.
Just look at those sleeves!!

Some pattern companies have re-released their vintage patterns (some are a little updated). These would be a great option for you!
