Here comes the tricky part, scaling up the pattern you devised if you made a thumbnail first.
I found some old blank newsprint and taped it together - using my scale, triangles and tape measure, I transferred the thumbnail to its actual dimensions on the paper. (after taping the paper together, trying to keep the edges in line as I possibly could.)
This part, in my opinion, is easier than devising the proportions of the first pattern. Its just transferring and scaling your thumbnails for the front and back of the under-tunic.
Note that I don't have any patterns for sleeves yet. Those are something where I'm going to try and wing-it, and I'll post the process as I go.
These are images of the process I used. If you look closely, you can even see the places I throughly screwed up.
Oh, and for the back pattern, since the bottom edge of the white comes to the bottom edge of the black of the front part, don't forget to do the front panel first.
