    I’m sure there are plenty of vintage stores around NY…

    The Vogue pattern company has reissued some of their patterns from the 30’s. They are re-sized to be consistent with today’s clothing sizes. I would use them. Good luck and let any bias cut item like a skirt hang before hemming for a couple of days so when you hem it, the hem stays even.
