Thanks Graham.
The Chatsworth relief probably gives me the most information to work with. The illustration I have of it by yourself shows lots of excess under arm fabric tied back with a strap to free the sword and a bottom hem on the tunic. If you remember the latter from when you drew it or have any photo's, is there a possibility that this bottom hem line, which is not seen on the neck and arm openings, could represent layers of fabric gathered over themselves? What I mean is, could it represent a 'skirt' section comprising three layers from a tuck at the waist, rather than one layer with a sewn hem line.
