Going back to school clothes from Vogue patterns

I live in a small, rural town in Appalachian Ohio where the shopping opportunities are pretty limited. I am also extremely long waisted and so I have trouble finding blouses and jackets that are long enough for me. Although I'm not a great sewer, I have started to sew more of my clothes because I have trouble finding the stuff I want in the stores. Here is a pattern from Vogue that is very similar to my typical work style. It looks pretty difficult, but it might be worth trying in order to get the look I want. The other problem is where to get the fabric I want!
