Shirring a dress is as easy as sewing a simple straight stitch. Purchase elastic thread from your local fabric store. Load a bobbin with the elastic thread and sew several horizontal lines around the neck line for as far down as you wish the shirring to go. Make sure the elastic is on the wrong side of the fabric.

It depends on the dress. If you buy a pattern it usually tells you how long it takes on the packet, but I would usually times that by 2 or 3 if you're not that used to sewing. It can take anywhere between 1 hour for a simple dress to a week for a full on wedding dress/ball gown with loads of fancy bits. That is using a sawing machine. If you are sewing by hand then it'll take a lot longer.
