Help with dress making?

So I'm a little crafty - I can do pretty well for myself if I have a pattern, but I'm terrible without one.

I'm attending a wedding in March, and I figured that gives me ample time to try and work something out. My inspiration:

However, I'm not having a whole lot of luck finding patterns for something similar.  Anybody feel like exercising some google-fu for me?  Or  suggestions.

TIA ladies!

ETA: I like them both, so am not particularly attached to them per se as much as the style.  They were marketed as WWII era dresses (but with a price tag I just couldn't stomach!)

  • And I've a mind to use a fabric a bit like this one (it's a wedding for an school friend, and we all went to a school with a scottie mascot):

  • Thanks @CL8badB!  That sundress is about perfect!  And they are indeed just patterns, so definitely helpful!
