Do you sew or are you a novice? If you're really set on making it yourself, you can find vintage dress patterns on ebay and etsy (or at http://www.sovintagepatterns.com/1950ssewingpatterns.html), and there are modern patterns for dresses that look vintage. As for how hard it will be, I've sewn a dress in my time, but I had help in the form of advice from the ladies at the local sewing center. Maybe some of our more experienced sewers/readers can weigh in with better advice! @desiree No idea, it was made by a designer years and years ago. Do you sew or are you a novice?

Vogue has re-released a ton of their vintage patterns reworked for modern sizing. Some of them are pretty complicated - but definitely worth the effort :-) Oh you are going to have so (sew?) much fun being able to sew your own clothing!
