   LizH:  I saw an jumper pattern at Grainline Gear (#1519) in a misses sized XXS-XXL.  It was on the Wachter's Silk site.  It was a straight jumper with a veeneck and buttons down the front.  Would that work?

   Liz,

   Try looking for such a pattern in places like Thrift SStores; Salvation Army/St V de Paul etc; often they have tons of older patterns at 10c or 25c apiece.

   Otherwise search on one of the "Vintage Pattern" sellers sites.

   Last of all, remember those "Golden Hands" magazines/books from way back when, they included patterns in the bound versions and will have one since they were fashionable still 'way back when'.

   Hope this helps,

   I would buy a uniform an then use it as a pattern. my son is very skinny - i couldn't find uniform pants in his size...so I just made him blue twill pants with an elastic waist and lots of pockets...he even made a few of them with me...deciding on design details (in seam plaid pockets...1/2 elastic pants)

    

   a jumper for a girl should be pretty easy to draft from an existing one.
