My understanding is (and it may be flawed of course) is that
"T-tunic" has traditionally referred to the fold over cut and sew up
the side, but otherwise unconstructed sort of tunic. When you start
attaching sleeves, or sticking in gores, you are making a constructed
garment.
Pesonally, I'm not thrilled with the term T-tunic in the first place,
but whatever.
People here practically use "t-tunic" as a techinical term. It means
"a basic tunic with a rectangular front and back, unshaped sleeve heads,
small square gussets at the armpit and two-piece gores in the
side-seam." Great shorthand when you want to use that as a starting
pount for descriding something -- ie, "it's just like a t-tunic only it
has additional gores at the cente front and back" etc.
