I've heard people rant about not calling tunics-with-gores/godets "T-Tunics" but I'm not sure why. The top is shaped like a T, even if the skirt area spreads out. Could someone enlighten me?
To me "T" is about the shape, or absence of a shape, of the sleeve, combined with the fact that the main piece is a rectangle (to which I add side gores because I'm a woman and it has to be long and I want to be able to walk). I doubt anyone can really give a definition of what a T-tunic is.... Some things we call T-shirts aren't really T-shirts anymore, with the way the sleeves are cut on most women's tees these days... _______________________________________________
