Answer 1

I can't find the catalog I used to have, but here is a good link that may be useful.

The catalog I have around here somewhere is Amazon Dry Goods. I ordered a pattern for 20's lingere (like tap pants) but never made them.

You may want to look at lacis.com for Folk Wear Patterns. They have patterns from many eras for both men and women, and when you consider that the Victorian era covered much of the latter half of the 19th and the early 20th Centuries, you need to be a bit more specific about what era dress you are looking for.

Answer 3

If you've ever gone to thrift stores, Goodwill, Amvets, etc. they usually have old patterns. They may even have them in the costume area in pattern books. You could contact the pattern companies themselves.

Answer 4

I like females in jeans. It makes them look more city like and it doesn't appear to be they try too hard but if you are trying to get this guys attention, this might not exactly be what you would like

Answer 5

I do enjoy wearing long skirts occasionally. They are actually more comfortable than Trousers rather than as hot to wear also.

Is it actually an old pattern, or a costume pattern made to look old?
