There isn't much to Kimono - they're all made from rectangles. The fitting happens when they're put on and fastened with the obi. There's a cutting layout for one in Dorothy Burnham's Cut My Cote from the Royal Ontario Museum, and my friend put up some really easy to follow directions for making a complete outfit (hakama, kosode, uchikake) here http://www.raito.com/clothing.htm
He also had me ILL a book that has some really yummy pictures "Kosode: 16th-19th Century Textile from the Nomura Collection" (Kimono is the more modern name - kosode is the older one)
