To help you further, knowing the following would be handy:
Are you an accomplished seamstress or a sewing noob?
What fabric are you planning to use? (i.e. with or without stretch)
Do you want the dress to be roomy or fitted?

I don't know about free, but you can buy patterns for baladi dresses from Atira's Fashions and Madame X. More info about these vendors here: Sewing Patterns for Making Belly Dance Costumes

I have never sewn with a pattern before but have done some sewing - def not an accomplished seamstress!!!! I hope to use a stretch fabric and need it quite fitted
