No,not sleeved,if you want the classical chiton. The decoration of the classical chiton is usually just a plain stripe near the hem. The chiton itself is a rectangular piece wide as is the distance from elbow to elbow.Don't be afraid to make it even a little wider. The length should be under your knees unbelted. When belted,with the drapes in your waist it should reach to the thighs,or a little over the knees. The ancients seem to have worn them high. The early archaic chiton very often leaves the genitals completely uncovered. This is a problem when you want to re-enact accurately.
