I'm thinking of something like this from the sew mama sew blog:

On a different note, the results of the Project Selvage are in and sadly I didn't make the top 10.
I knew it would be a toughie. Massive thanks however to everyone who voted for my design.
Undeterred, I've already started putting a Flippers and Kippers collection together and will be selling it via Spoonflower in the not too distant future. Watch this space.

I can recommend 'design it yourself clothes by cal patch, written for people who have no idea about clothes design so you can draft your own patterns, there are some basics in the book then she gives ideas on how to jazz it up

When you find your pattern (try john lewis) if you are a bit nervous try making it in some cheap fabric that is the same sort of weight as your final fabric(plain cotton etc). Then you can see how the pattern fits you once made up, if you need to make any alterations put it on inside out and pin where you need to take out/work out where you need to add in. Then alter your paper pattern. When you have something that fits you perfectly you can make lots, changing fabrics and designs slightly but knowing that it will fit you like a glove.
Let me know if you need any more advice.
