Well I have contacted both of those people and am waiting to hear back. I have also reached out to some costume designers to see if I can have them make a replica for me. Hopefully I will be able to get my hands on one without breaking the bank. I just sure do wish I was a better sewer myself.

Somebody reached out and touched Polly Gausewitz, now a costumer who makes Kaylee's party dress and much more. Her motto is: “If it can be sewn, I will make it for you. I've started booking costume commissions for the rest of the year.” - May 24, 2011 Journal Entry

This is her latest creation, done on commission, and to be shipped today to the proud owner.

The Technical Stuff
Hoopskirt is the 6-bone cotton hoop skirt from Angel's Bridal on Ebay. The top hoop had to be taken out to get the right length.
Petticoat is poly-cotton broadcloth, 5 layers of ruffles.
Skirt is nylon organza. Both sides of each ruffle have a rolled hem on them, and then were ruffled with a combination of machine ruffling and hand ruffling, and then were sewn onto a white gored skirt.
The bodice is made of off-white poly satin charmeuse and pink slipper satin, both covered with an embroidered organza. I was super lucky and found a very close match to the fabric used in the episode. It even has gold threading embroidered in it.
There is more pictures of the dress here:

Wow, I saw the listing on Etsy. I'm amazed she can do such a quality job (seriously, it's awesome!) for such a reasonable price. If I hadn't already made this dress I'd seriously consider one for myself. She has yet again pulled off the impossible.
