Ok, here's mine. I am a bit reticent to show it since I'm no where near finished. The tablion is only pinned on, and I don't have my crossbow fibula yet and the edges need to be whip stitched but it's here.

The tablion hangs exactly like it should and the hem doesn't drag in the dirt. I'm surprised it looks so straight along the bottom edge not being circular, but I think that's because the way it's fastened lifts the corners up. I even have that sharp horizontal fold across the upper chest just like the ravenna mosaics. The trick is to place the midpoint directly over your left shoulder and fasten it as close to your neck as possible.
