Does anyone have experience in making a historically accurate Roman Tunica? This is a garment worn by women. *IMPORTANT DETAIL. My roommate and I are going to be making these for the upcoming Renaissance Fair in a few weeks. We have looked online and narrowed the specifics down. However actually making it and seeing a historically accurate one is the hard part. We're planning to make them to reflect a higher woman in status. No togas, no white or any of that business.

We're planning to have it cinched at the top to reveal an under-tunic below as well as belt to give some shape at the top. For the arms we're planning to have the ringed openings down to the elbows with material hanging down a few inches.
