I just started to make a new tunic from some lightwieght wool fabric. Wanting the snappy pleats I pinned it together and checked if it would work. Here's the result (excuse the poor quality of the photos):

Essentially, the tunic is huge, hanging as low as my mid-shins, and the width is from wrist to wrist. However, I think it resembles some of the better sculptures we've seen, and all it needed was to pull and gather the pleats up and through, under the cingulum. Once they are there they can be adjusted to enhance the effect very easily. I'll try with a cummerbund and fibulae next.
