Well... it's kinda late for that. xD I already started making my hakama out of a plain white sheet... -shrug- Whatever. But now I need some more help.
My instructions say, "First, figure out what 40% of your waise measurement is (14.4 in),. Layout a ruler: When you are working the folds, you want the total width of the front piece of the hakama to fit within this measurement (14.4 in). Now, bring in the fabric on either side of point E (Where the seam for the crotch is) to form 1 pleat in the center along E, and UNDER theis pleat, two more pleats on either side of it. Each pleat goes under the next. Use your 40% of waist measurement to work the pleats out."
My question is, how far do I need to make the pleats go in? =/ I tried it but I only get two pleats...
http://www.sithvixen.com/tutorials/SewingHakamaPants.pdf <-- This is the pattern I used, it you need to see it. I'm on step 14.
Thank you very much for any help you can give me. <3

@Dragonelf13 Reference pictures would be very helpful. As for the leopard print shirt, if your in a hurry then you'd be better off making it, but if you still have time then search ebay, goodwill, any thrift stores. They are great places for random stuff but also it's hard to go in the 1st time and find something that is exactly what you want.
@Phyre Nyx I actually tried and fail at hakama and then I bought some. You can try looking at cosplay.com if you haven't already, that may have some thing that could help you.
@CheshireCatCloud What type of help?
@Roswitha For binding you could do a couple of things. Extending the binding up is fine but you have a few more options, you could use flesh color ace bandages to bind with or wear a flesh colored shirt, the one I've heard a lot of Simon crossplayers use is open shirt binding (which normal uses sports tape) a good link for this is http://www.cosplay.com/showthread.php?t=15709.
For patterns look at simplicity, butterick, McCall's and anything at your local fabric store. The jacket looks like it could be made from a normal sports jacket pattern you'll probably need interfacing in the collar so it can stand on it's own (if you do make sure is fusible/iron on , it will make your life easier).

Storm17 Yellow_Ronin2000 http://media.photobucket.com/image/zombie powder gamma/killerofthesky/Anime Named/From Manga and Anime Shows/akutabigamma.jpg The problem i'm having with this is that i don't know how to make the metallic steel on his face or how i would keep it on my skin all day. I have the fabric for his jacket and faux fur for it too. I don't know what to make the shirt out of to make it look leathery. I would really appreciate the help, thanks! The metal thing you could make with anything from craft foam to sculpey you'd just have to paint it to look like metal usually some metallic spray and then you can do something similar to this person: http://www.entropyhouse.com/penwiper/costumes/helmsdeep.htmlthen you could attach whatever you want with spirit gum just make sure what ever you use is not too heavy. If you don't like that idea look for people who have done tutorials for Grimmjow from bleach, he has a similar idea to his costume. As for the shirt I hate to sound redundant you could use leather which I know is expensive pleather is a alternative. Just look for a material with the look your looking for and also before committing you should find out if it will be easy for you to sew with, just in case. I hope I've been slightly helpful and not confusing just ask if you need clarification on something. No! You helped out alot, Thanks! I can't wait to get started
