Linen is always stiff at the beginning.
The longer you will wear this chiton the softer it will get. It is one of the characteristics of linen.
For to wide, I take it you are more on the thin side like me ;_) I would actully say you are on the tight side with a chiton made with the ellbow to ellbow rule.
I have observed, at least with my chitons, after I pinned them at the shoulders that the opening for my arms are almost a bit too small, while arround the waist I don't know where to put all the fabric.
In my expierence it takes some time until you have found a way to make the folds look good and even now I struggle to make it look presentable ;-)
