It would help to know how "plus" you need. And whether you need day-dresses, formals, coats, etc. But be sure you order patterns based on YOUR actual measurements, not from whatever Ready to Wear size you usually buy.

There is a size chart for Vogue/Butterick/McCalls patterns here:

With just a couple of exceptions for maximum size 18, most of these vintage patterns are available up to size 20 ( bust

42", waist 35", hip 44" ) and a couple up to size 24 (bust 46", waist 39", hip 48"):

If you need larger than a 24, it might be feasible to size some of these up at least one size without too much difficulty.
