Seamwork's Ace pattern looks like it has a neckline fairly close to what I'm looking for. But I need to lose most of the fabric in the body. I sketched lines parallel to the shoulders seams (about 18cms) and armholes (about 10cms), similar to how you draft facings. I kept the sleeves as they were at this point.

Quick lilac cotton bib

I knew I wouldn't be able to find overalls, especially in the time, so I drafted a quick overalls bib-like pattern, that would be separate to the trousers, to be made in some lilac 100% cotton fabric.

I started with a waist measurement, and the idea of something roughly A4 in size, but with diagonal lines. It's not easy to make out but maybe you can see how I built up the pattern on squared pattern paper.
