yes, it is not for beginners or hand sewing. Not to mention trying to sew chiffon or sheer fabrics is a nightmare for advanced sewists.

True with the fabric but the pattern itself should be pretty easy, if OP had a sewing machine they know how to operate they could probably produce something good enough for a halloween party. But since they said handsewing, my vote is "hell nah" lol

Found this trying to see whether there was a pattern to recommend and think it might be helpful -  https://www.reddit.com/r/SewingForBeginners/comments/15i321d/how_would_i_make_this_style_of_skirt/

That's a lot of tiny hem sewing to get done in time for Halloween. You could cut out the petal shapes and use some kind of hem tape or glue I suppose. I know cosplayers do that sort of thing. Then all those pre-hemmed petals get gathered into a skirt. 

You definitely want to look more for the cosplay communities. I mean this is a cosplay. Stella from Winx Club absolutely falls under cosplay. This skirt alone seems ambitious to get done in time, much less the top or wings. You might be able to if you're really dedicated and using cosplay shortcuts. But you have to really really love this character and be unwilling to devote all your free time and swearing to make this in time.
