that's exactly my feeling, the openings for my arms are Always too small and the fabric around my waist too much,
i'm 175 cm tall and i weight 75 kilos, i'm not particularly thin but i'm broad shouldered and small waisted,
anyway, my interest is shifted toward the peloponnesian war period and even later, so i'll quit the chiton in favour of a exomis tunic for my next soft kit.
probably for some of you it will sound a bit like an heresy, but after further experiments with scrap cloth, i have found that a piece of fabric of about 90cm x 140 cm is pretty much what i need for my exomis and even for my chlamys, it is not thight at all and looks pretty good, i have just to find a fabric that is softer that the one that currently i have
the first chiton i have made is in bright Yellow shade that is a way too flashy for me, for my next i'll experiment with neutral shades of colours, greys, maroons or drab
