Swing Dress

Can I sew my own swing dress?
I've never sewn a my own clothing really except for some experimenting as a middle schooler with old clothes but I really want to make my own swing dress like this:
http://www.vivienofholloway.com/1950s-Halterneck-Plain/1950s-Halterneck-Red-and-Gingham-Dress.html
but I have no idea how. I can't find sewing patterns or anything. I've been googling for hours. Is this too difficult for a first project? Should I start with something smaller?
Way too difficult for beginner sewing unless you've got an experienced teacher watching over your shoulder at every step. (BTW, consider: http://www.folkwear.com/239.html )
Find some basic sewing lessons in your area -- try fabric stores, sewing machine shops, community education classes, community colleges. Learn basic sewing machine and fabric cutting and handling skills on some basic projects, then try a couple of commercial patterns, then try the Folkwear one.
Good luck and have fun!
