Draping the chiton

[Velites77]

i have chosen linen for my first project because i was not sure about the right kind of wool to use, the material is probably a bit too stiff, as you suggest, and for sure too long, but i feel it also too wide, the elbow to elbow measure, looks too much for me, unless the garment is taylored and pleated like the red chiton that you wear in the photos at the beginning of the topic.

i have not studied extensively the subject, but simply my chiton is completely different in terms of visual effect respect to the one achieved in vase and Marbles,
