90 x 200 doesen't work for me, it could be fine for the chlamys but not for the exomis, the armhole is enormous and it is very difficult to pull on the fabric,
for sure 90 cm it is the perfect height for me, i have still to settle the lenght but it should be around 150 cm.
at this point i have to ask: there is a specific reason for the general perception that greek clothes were so flowing and rich in fabric? i mean, there is a specific contemporary source that specify the dimensions of the cloth used for making garments?
the clothings that i see on Marbles and vases are not puffy or flowing, but rather heavily pleated that may indicate an adbundance of fabric, but after the pleating the result i see, is a rather close fitting garment, and i'm under the same impression of Giannis, that the chiton is a taylored garment
probably it would be possible to abtain the same result putting a tons of pins, but why? tayloring is much more easier
