To SEW or not to SEW

I CAN SEW. Its just the time and money involved. I can usually find a great deal on the clearance racks at a store rather than make an outfit BUT I WANT this dress. Not for me but for Aivrey. Unfortunatly they didn't have her size. Any one know where to find patterns like this? I could probably find material similar at SEW to SPEAK in clintonville. Then I just need to find the time and a machine. VANESSA??????
