om...
I need some advice so I thought this would be the best place ask!

Am I completely deluding myself here? (please
say no...haha!)


OK, just to make you happy I'll say, "You are completely deluding yourself."

On the other hand the dress doesn't really look that difficult, just sort of
futzy with sewing that bias down so it's VERY straight and even. If you
don't have a pattern for it that just maybe a whole new can of worms for you
if you've only made simple skirts from ready made patterns. Are you going to
have to draft your own pattern? I can see where a ready made pattern easily
could be used and darting the skirt instead of gathering would work, the
fact that it has a sash around the waist would save you grief from trying to
fit a one piece dress all with darting. Your figure would also have a lot to
do with how difficult it would be to fit.

Do you know a more experienced sewist who, in person, could help you out?
From the eye of an "oldie" I'd say it wouldn't be that difficult if you had
a gentle guiding hand to give you a little assistance over the humps. Where
do you live?
