i can highly recommend _Make Your Own Japanese Clothes_ by John Marshall. ISBN 0-87011-865-x
It has instructions for making your own kimono as well as hanten and haori jackets and a variety of traditional styles of tops and pants. Most are made entirely of rectangles - very easy to make. And they have a sheet where you take your measurements and stick them into the pattern for one that fits you exactly.
I JUST got it back after loaning it to somone - she kept it for 2 years, so I'm not letting it out of my sight for a while.
