This is how I defined the pattern for my Zuko's costume and the cotton fabric length/height I'll need.
In the past, people asked me how I'll work. So, here is Step 1.
I have not a lot of experience on creating costume so I hope it will turns good. I used a Japanese Kimono pattern for reference.
I already bought the fabric and material I'll need. For info, it costed around 50 euro. But probably I will have enough to make something else with what is left.
Final work must ressemble to this Zuko's costume> [link]
BIG UPDATE:
Mesurements and new pattern for the pant added.

This pattern was my first version, in fact I did it twice. The first version was to understand how it works, because I never sewed before and then I tryed to correct all the mistakes in the second version.
What I can suggest is :
> first do a draft with a cheap fabric. Cutting bigger, then trying to find the right shape. When it's ok, redraw the pattern on the good fabric.
> For the armour, I suggest a light material. I tried to make one with a groundsheet used for gymnastics. Then you can paint it with acrylics and protect with a varnish (not sure of this word?!) spray.

No. I live in Europe. ^^ But I'll probably wear it for the San Diego Comic Con, I want to go there this year. Could you please show me some photo of your when finished? You have done a better pattern than me. It was my first attempt at cosplay and I know well that mine is not very good.
I'll work on the weapons soon and post a tutorial. I found a interesting solution. I think it could interest you too.
