interesting, for my first recostruction i have opted for a chiton pinned at the shoulders with pins, but for my next project i want two exomis, sewn at the shoulders, one ripped at one side ans another one with both the arm holes sewn, greek clothings are so inexpensive that i can have more than one without problems
all in all, i'm not satisfied with my first chiton, it is too puffy and large, when i wear my belt there is a lot of fabric that i have to pull up above my waist, basically it look like a tent, in the vase paintings and Marbles that i have seen the chiton or the exomis are looking more stream lined and slender
i have taken, as suggested, the lenght from elbow to elbow with my arms extended and the distance between my shoulders and my legs, but the result is a very bulky and un elegant garment
for my next exomis i'll go for a much close fitting look
i have also experimented the possibility that the chlamys could become an exomis, as Giannis suggested, and it works perfectly, the result is very similar at what i have in mind for my garments
