How do you make a Kimono?

Question

I was inspired to be a geisha for halloween after watching "Memoirs of a Geisha" and I tried looking at a ton of halloween stores for geisha costumes, and all of the ones i found were the fakey ones that look like what strippers wear. I decided I would rather make my own and not be direspectful for one thing and not look wierd. So if anyone has a pattern for a traditional kimono, obi, and all of the other things needed for a geisha costume please tell me or send me a link. Also if you know anywhere to get good fabric for making a traditional costume please tell me. Thanks!
