One website that i would love to do (when i have the fitting ability) is
do a web site with various people and show the first fit of a t-tunic,
and then how it looks as one changes each measurement to get a great
fitting tunic.
can you tell that i am a math teacher (methodical, methodical, and
methodical)

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! )
