Sewing patterns

I would look smashing in this; although I'm not going to pay that for a fancy dress, I would like to find the equivalent sewing pattern to make one to match my hat for the next Malice tea. Can anyone point me in the right direction?

In the meantime, while I search, I am amused to find that Butterick has this, considering that Moresca sells that dress for $275.

I'm cringing at the thought of all the ruching. And yeah, I've noticed a marked increase in historical pattern offerings from the mainstream companies. Really nice, detailed patterns. They're tapping into the cosplay, re-enactment, Renfaire market in a big way

I *know*! Where were they when I was in competition costuming? I'd've killed for some of these patterns back in the day.
