Depends on what you're calling Military style 
(Got a pic you can show us?)
But if you can find a top that works for you, it shouldn't be too hard to add a pencil skirt pattern to it. If you want it to button all the way through just add both seam allowance and a button stand to the CF fold line (and don't put the zip in the back).
