They aren't exactly retro, but I bought some new patterns off ebay this week and got some great deals from this seller. She has super cheap shipping, 7 days to shop, and a fun assortment of current and OOP patterns:

OOP 8416
I like the collar on this shirt and the
two skirt options

I think I like the gray version of this pattern. There was a day when I had a small midsection and would have been drawn to the houndstooth, but now that my waistline is thickening, the gray one might be nicer for my body shape. I've always like "jumpers" because due to my short waist, I've never been able to wear shirts and skirts with much success. With jumpers I can kind of get the dress and skirt look without cutting myself in half.

B4800 is still available. I thought these would be
easy to convert to mini dresses.

B4800 just looked so cute to me. It's the only one I bought that is not out of print. I pictured the pink one and the green one in a fun little mini dress in my favorite aqua/turquoise colors with some matching sandals at the beach or on a movie night. I may chicken out actually wearing something so revealing and gaping in public, but it was cheap and who knows if I'll have more success trimming down my arms?

OOP 2263 This is a pretty classic pattern.
I can do a lot with this.

This classic pattern pretty much mimics a dress I had when I was about half the size I am now. I made a black gingham one with a perfict waist and cup size. I wore that dress every chance I got until it got too small. I don't remember giving it away. There were two more I didn't like the material as much, but loved the figure flattering look. I think the gingham one had little cap sleeves and the other two had no sleeves. I miss that dress.
