Patterns...decision time

I've found a fab knitting pattern for a 1940s dress which i shall start on  but keep as a back up - picture below and ill update on this as i buy wool etc ( i have a lot of knitting experience so this should't be too hard).
However, every time i find a perfect dress pattern its sold out or im outbidded ( if on ebay), very frustrating and maybe i'm being too picky.

I've posted a couple of pictures of patterns though that have caught my eye and any feedback warmly welcomed. The Pan Am pattern i shall have to put together based on a basic jacket and skirt.
