It's more of an issue with me, as well, but in my case, it's more of a
bust issue than tummy, which I take care of with gores.
When I wrote that this morning, what I was picturing was not only all
the folk I know in the SCA who wear "I don't give a [EMAIL PROTECTED] if it's old and
grody, you can't make me wear anything else" tee tunics, but also all
the larger people who seem to have bought into the
tunic-or-houpe-as-medieval-equivalent-to-a-muumuu, when I know, from
personal experience, that fit is just as important for those of us at
the larger end of the bodily bell curve as it is for those who are
otherwise blessed, if not more so!
I'd like to add that I know a variety of SCA people, mostly guys, who
wear nicely fitting tunics or cotes, and their heights and weights vary
significantly, but they all still look good. It's the fit, and the
right materials (natural fibers so ROCK!).

The nicely-fitting ones have just as much Yum! factor as other
clothing styles. ;oD)

I do seem to have MORE trouble getting a t-tunic to fit right then
getting a fitted bodice to fit right though. I have lots of trouble with
the tummy bigness in relation to the shoulders. (re my questions of
about a month ago! )
