Size Vintage

Where can I find size 2 vintage dress (sewing) patterns?
I also realize vintage sizes are different, so I'm wondering what vintage size (say for the 70s, 60s, and 50s if you want to be detailed) I am considering that I'm closest to a modern size 2 (1, even, if you can find anything that small). Once that question is answered, where can I find good and really cheap vintage sewing patterns?
Thanks.
A current pattern size 2 is about a 28" full bust measurement (28-28.5"), so you'll be looking for vintage patterns with that measurement. Depending on the era, you may wear a misses 4,6,8, or 10, or the pattern may simply be marked as a 28" bust.

PLUS SIZE VINTAGE OUTFIT OF THE DAY
How to convert a modern bra size to vintage bra size?
Hello,
I love vintage 50's clothing. I have many vintage dresses + other items but I would like to start purchasing some vintage bras. The only problem is that I'm not sure what size to purchase.
I know vintage dress sizes are different. For example, I wear a vintage dress size 16 and a modern size 10-12.
If I wear a modern size 34D bra...what is the equivalent in vintage size?
Thanks much;-)

Here's a thread on The Fedora Lounge site that's really helpful. Have fun shopping and don't forget to buy a few girdles and pairs of stockings as well if your going for a truly authentic vintage look!
