Draping the chiton
#95
In this photo do you find my chiton bulky and unlike ancient depictions? Note that the shoulders are sewn for about 5 cm but not pleated.
     
I am 1,78 cm tall and 72 kg so a bit slimmer than you. In the next photo you can see that it actually follows the elbow to elbow rule, and the linen one i wear underneath is even wider, utilizing 3 meters length of fabric, which as been pleated by twisting.
   

I wouldn't say that chitons became more tailored, and i wouldn't say that roman tunics were narrower than greek chitons. It is, of course, a misconception but the more knowlegeable in roman clothing will verify this.

Lastly, i would like to point out that due to the vast amount of fashion choices (even if looking minor to us) it is hard to be accurate with generalizations. At any given time there were narrower and wider clothes, but generally as far as i can see reenactors tend to use narrower than justifiable in their reconstructions, both in greek and roman reenacting.
