Under 'Symbol' tab of the Ribbon, you will see a set of drawing tools containing 'Pencil Tool', 'Pen Tool', 'Move Anchor', 'Add Anchor', 'Delete Anchor', 'Convert Anchor', and more. It might take a few minutes to get familiar with these tools. You can always turn to the Dynamic Help on the right side of the canvas.

First, use the Pen tool or Pencil tool to sketch out the clothes. Then use Move Anchor and Convert Anchor tool to fine adjust the lines. After that, apply fill color and line colors.
