Alright, it's a really rough sketch and my camera is shit, but it's enough get you started.

You'll need some blue and off white fabric, about 3 yards of each. I recommend some kind of rayon challis or something since this is for the jacket. Start off by measuring front the back of your neck (like your C5 vertabrae) to as far down as your jacket will go (below knee length?) This is how long the back cut of fabric should be. Back cut of fabric should be cut on the fold of the fabric. You can adjust the width at the bottom for how much flow you want the jacket to have as you move (since it appears to be a little like a cape and flow). It also depends on what type of fabric you use as to how it drapes and flows. Animes aren't exactly friendly on the whole what kind of fabric to use since the bottom seems to flow/drape a lot and the top is more rigid and form-fitting like a uniform. You may be able to add some kind of interfacing to just the torso and shoulder area of a more flowing fabric to achieve this though. Cut two of the front fabric as well, one for left and one for right. Collar needs only one cut. Stitch together the side seams of the two fronts so they join with the back (and don't accidentally stitch the armhole closed LOL). Also stitch the part of the shoulders together. Make sure you don't have like an extra inch or so extra on one side by measuring out the length from your side neck area to where your shoulder starts and use that when cutting the fabric so it's the same length and they meet together decently. Stitch in the collar making sure it's long enough and wide enough to actually look like a collar but not meet the exact length with the front piece (collar should be roughly 1-2 inch shorter than front on both sides to match what you want it to look like). Add extra interfacing for collar area, that shit looks stiff. Cut out of white fabric and stitch lining just like you have followed these instructions so far.
