Hey, its my first post on here!

anyway....i got a couple questions

i have an idea to make a naval frock, sorta like Davy Jones coat, but im making it so it still fits when i get older (im a teen) and i want it loose now and then... so the measurements aren't supposed to fit me.....

i don't have a size, since the measurements are awkward (i designed them that way)

the measurements are

24" inside sleeve
31" oustide sleeve
10" shoulder
20" upper arm circumfrence
43" upper chest circumfrence
43" waist circumfrence
20" neck circumfrence
47" back length

if you could help me in any way, it would be appreciated

and yes, the back is supposed to reach your knees, and the sleeves are supposed to go over your hands....
