If you click on my name, a vintage pattern in my eBay Store will come up . . . . I think it is pretty close!
I second that! I have been drooling after tea dresses all day after looking at photos from the Edge Of Love and I’m definitely on the hunt for tea dress patterns!
Simplicity have something quite like that (it might be one of their New Look range) – just had a quick look and the following are maybe possible candidates with maybe a few adjustments?
– New Look 6375
– New Look 6459 (the view on the bottom right)
Good luck, because that dress is lovely!

They have quite a variety and you might find something similar there for no cost. All you have to do is register. They post a new pattern every Monday.

I would say your best bet for vintage patterns is going to be in patterns from the 1960s.
I just stumbled across this brilliant post of patterns for Audrey Hepburn look dresses – http://fabaudrey.blogspot.com/2007/10/audrey-hepburn-sewing-patterns-fall.html
How about Simplicity 3673? It’s a currently-available 1950’s reissue (so it’s vintage, but easy to find in any size and potentially cheaper if your local shop has sales):
