Hakama
From CosWiki
Hakama are worn by a lot of anime/manga/videogame characters. The history and actual uses for these garments are beyond the scope of this page. This page is focused on how you would make a pair of hakama.
However, if you want to learn more you can check out the Wikipedia entry on Hakama.

[edit] Online Hakama Pattern
Instructions for sewing Hakama (Samurai Pants)
It's a good, free pattern if you are in a hurry or don't want to buy a traditional pattern.
[edit] Paper Patterns
There are many paper patterns that you can order online or find in your local fabric store.
My personal favorite is the pattern by Round Earth Publishing.
Not only is it a pattern on making Hakama, it also includes instructions on how to wear it, tie it and fold it for storage so that it retains it's pleats.
Folkwear's pattern is also highly recommended and includes a pattern for Kataginu.
