Hey everyone, I need some help on making Rukia's outfit from Bleach, I wanna make her soulreaper uniform,

I don't remember what they call it but I know it's not a yukata/kimono, it's more like a hakama Kikyo from Inuyasha-ish outfit. maybe I got that right, I don't know lol
anyway, I need help because a while back I had found a site or heard about one that sold patterns for hakamas and other Japanese traditional type clothing but I have no idea what it was and I don't think I saved it.

if anyone knows the site or knows where I could buy patterns for that I would be REALLY grateful. otherwise, I wouldn't have any idea where to start since I've only seen patterns for Kimonos in Simplicity etc. so any tips or ideas would be appreciated too, thanks!

I can make costume according your pics you offered.So if you wanna buy one pls contact me for details.
Thanks.

I didn't really want to buy one, thanks though. I wanted to try to make it for Jacon '07 since it would be my first cosplay that I actually made,
if I can't find a pattern or instructions for the Rukia outfit then I might have to go with an Aerith costume or something easier..

sorry to post two replies.. but I found a site that sells patterns for hakama

but I'm pretty sure that's just for the pants, so I don't know what the top would be, but I think it might be a haori like this http://roundearth.stores.yahoo.net/japhap.html but I'm not sure so if any one could tell me I'd really appreciate it, thanks!
