Here's a good set of tips from a previous post about the bund pattern:

There was a pattern floating around here at one time, but it's probably very out of date.  

The cummerbund is fairly simple, it's just a long rectangle with no tapering.  You want it to be between 8-10 inches high (10 inches at the absolute most), so that the pouches fit squarely on it with maybe a little bit of slack to tuck into your belt.  The movie ones seemed to be about 8 inches high and stopped right at the belt.

The length of it depends on your own size.  

In the center go six lines of stitching, 1 inch apart, to create the 5 raised ribs.  You will want to put batting between the two layers of fabric to give them dimension.

The closure is 2 inch velcro.  The cummerbund must close right-over-left.  

That's really all there is to it.  It's a very simple garment, which probably explains why there is no pattern for it :D

As for the materials, Level 1 of the CRL only calls for "white fabric" for the bund and cod. However, Level 2 calls for smooth white cotton fabric. Polished cotton or mercerized cotton is preferred, but at a minimum, smooth white cotton fabric. Canvas or duck cloth is not permitted for the bund and cod. Your pouches should be made of canvas-type material (e.g., duck cloth).

Hope that helps!
