The pattern I used is no longer in production, but you might be able to find it for sale on eBay or through a vintage pattern dealer. It's #9221 from the Simplicity Retro Costume Collection. I also reviewed the information at this website so I knew which pattern features to change (swap zipper for hooks & eyes, raise the hem for dancing, etc.) and what sort of fabrics and trims might actually be period appropriate.
I was lamenting my gloves most of the night - they're stretch nylon with a syntheticky sheen. Bwahah! I just won a pair of vintage white kid gloves on eBay for $7.50!
