how to sew
I have decided that I want to sew. Like sew clothing. I have a couple questions:
1. How do you do the runching on the neck of this dress?

2. Where are some places I can get good quality fabric besides Joann Fabrics?
3. You know on henley shirts there's like colored seams and buttons? Well, how do I make the button holes the perfect size and shape and everything like brand name clothes? And what do those colored seams on the shoulder blades and around the neck keep together and how do I sew them properly?

Maybe give some free advice about: Fashion and Styles?
Take a class.
I don't want to even TRY to explain gathering (which are what have been done to the top of that dress) or bias binding and piping (which is what I think you mean about the shirts) over the internet. I don't think it can be done.
Sewing is one of those skills that really, really requires a skilled teacher to show you how. Once you have some of the basics, then you can experiment, but for right now try to find a person or a place where you can taken an introductory class.
In the mean time, pick up a copy of the Readers Digest's Complete Guide to Sewing. It will really help you out as you get started.
Oh, and you'll need a sewing machine to make nice button holes. Most machines have a setting to do just that.
