Trouble is I'm not all that great at the sewing thing... straight lines?... no problem, tailoring?... not so much!
Anybody out there go some time on their hands in January who would be willing to help me out?

Those look like great ideas that will totally suit you. Sorry I don't have time to help make the pattern for you. If you want to try yourself, you need to figure out your bodice. Drea Leed's corset generator is a good place to start. It is here: http://www.elizabethancostume.net/custompat/index.html

That will give you the structure for the bodice part of the dress, then you just have to figure out the skirt and sleeves. Lots of work but no too hard.
