This site has tons of patterns and you can’t beat the prices! Plus free shipping if you buy 5 patterns. I ordered 5 patterns last Friday and got them in yesterday. It was a great shopping experience.

Very good, fast.
ebay is a great source for vintage patterns- I know because I was unloading lots of them there :-) Things to remember- you have to go by the measurements, not by a size number. The size numbers changed constantly and are not consistent from different pattern companies. Also, people wore very different underwear in the fifties and sixties (girdles and pointy bras) which can affect the way things fit.
Macojero’s is one of my favourite stops on ebay for vintage patterns. She’s very pleasant, reliable, and often willing to bargain.
