When I say it should be smaller, I'm mostly speaking from my experiance with wearing it. If the cloak is the same size or larger than a sagum, then there is a lot of material essentially doing nothing but being in the way. If you gather it at the shoulder it creayes a huge bulge, if you let it hang, then it drags, and if you wrap it around your arm, then it gets heavy.
You are correct, when I where mine, I secure it to the musculata, pin it back to itself, with the long edge close to my neck, and the rounded side out in space, this creates really nice looking folds when I wrap the cloak around my left arm, as is seen in many sculptures.
when I wear it around my neck it will generally hang around to the top of my knee, it's much arder to secure this way though, as it tends to ride up on your neck.
