All these patterns pop up on eBay from time to time, so you can usually find them. I did a quick search and:
http://www.farthingales.on.ca/simplicity_patterns.php Has a few of the patterns scanned with some details... I quite like "Simplicity 5724 Civil War Ball Dress pattern" The simplicity web site list the new patterns (2881, 2887 and 2890) right down the bottom of the page: http://www.simplicity.com/index.cfm?page=wnsimp.cfm I quite like the new offerings... me thinks a trip to Spotlight one lunch time might be in order!
