This is my pattern for tunics, chemise, dresses. Whatever. Medevial-oid and tons better than a T-tunic or some silly “trace around your t-shirt patterns”. Sometimes called an R-tunic or “rectangular tunic.” This pattern uses gussets and gores. Love love love gussets and gores. I started with a pattern from a period garment that placed a gore in the middle of…
