How much slop do I leave in the shroud for slipping on and off but yet not having it baggy (or is baggy and riding low still in?) ?

Ed,
If you use a stretchy material like Lycra/Spandex the shroud will stretch quite a bit and your measurements won't be nearly as critical. Just make sure that it is a bit smaller to begin with.
Cheers!
