Thru-hiker has the Whitney kit: http://thru-hiker.com/kits/whitney_kit.php
A vest can be made by simply not using the arms.
Alternatively Quest has several vest patterns, though none specifically for down: http://www.questoutfitters.com/patterns-vest-cart.htm#Vest%20Patterns
If she wants to use a vest pattern that is not specifically for down, (I made my own pattern) you just need to determine the amount of loft desired and ensure that the inner lining is less length in what will be the circumference around the jacket than the shell by the desired loft amount. I used the same baffle concepts as many of the MYOG quilts/sleeping bags.
If you need a vest as well you could probably come pretty close to two vests if you order the whitney jacket with overstuff option, and extra material for your shell and liner.
Good luck

A Cult-Classic GMT Reimagined for Everyday WearInspired by the famously bezel-stripped Rolex GMT-Master worn by Marlon Brando in Apocalypse Now, the G2 Apocalypse turns a piece of 1970s film and watch history into a practical everyday GMT. Its restrained 39mm design pairs a Swiss Ronda quartz GMT movement with sapphire crystal, 150 meters of water resistance, strong BGW9 lume, and USA assembly. The result is an accurate, low-maintenance travel watch with a story collectors will immediately recognize.
