Welcome to the forum. As Jurjen stated, making a tunic is something that almost anyone can do. Most groups require you to at least have a tunic, caligae (military boots), and a balteus (military belt), and usually a sword with scabbard and some sort of way to carry it (a thick leather strap is completely accurate and affordable).
Depending on the size of the group they may very well have parts of the kit for you to borrow. Do not hesitate to ask anyone on RAT about our opinion on certain equipment before you purchase it. Much stuff out there is only made to look the part and has little historical basis, this will save you time and money in the long run.
Welcome to a very diverse, fun, and educational hobby
