I've done a bit of costume construction and tailoring in my life, and no. In all honesty, it's just not going to happen.
You aren't going to be able to bring in that dress two dress sizes nicely, and any seamstress you take it to when have to take the bodice apart entirely and rebuild it in order to make a size 5 into a 3. They will also likely have to redrap the skirt with the new waist measurement. That kind of alteration would probably be more expensive then this dress.
Honestly, if you really love this dress, it would probably be cheeper to hire someone to make it for you, then to order this and have it altered.
