1. you can adjust the length of the tunic, simply by measuring to a different point, and shortening this one to just above the knee allows long legged type a little extra movement space when covering ground.
2. the sleeve measurements will likely be a little bit large to many people. a good alternative is to measure your arms circumference just at the shoulder, and add 4 inches, then measure the circumference of your arm at the point you want the sleeve to end, and add 1-3 inches (depending on how much droop you want on your sleeve.
3. If you choose to shorten the tunic, you may do well to make the gores a little smaller. Subtract 2-3 inches from the high of the gore when you measure it to keep the relative flow of the tunic, s that your not dealing with a hoop skirt at the waist.
