One of the most commonly asked about costume is a Nun's Habit. Unfortunately I have not seen a pattern for one since sometime before 2005. Necessity being the mother of invention, I went on a search. Although I didn't find a child's nun costume, I did find a few "convertible" options.
Your first step is to look at and analyze Nun Costumes
Next look at the various pattern options that are available. Changing the color and shape of the edge of a collar can instantly convert pattern intended for other costumes.
