I must admit that the most consistent cut of the tunic I have come accross from my own studies at both the V&A and the Bolton museum, I would say that the shape that comes up most often is that which Paul has very nicely represented in his 'timeline' picture. I surveyed and measured 10 diferent complete tunics and 6 of them had this type of cut. They were, however also the most elobarately embellished. So maybe we are seeing a specific style of tunic for a specific status of individual
