Nice job. Stencils, applique or free hand on the letters?

Critique: Bell the bottoms out more. If the sides are mostly straight, they look more like t-shirts or sports jerseys than tunics. Also, make them longer. If your tunic doesn't hit you at midthigh when worn as intended, it's too short for most peoples' garb. If you are all wearing, say, joined hosen and cotehardies under them, then that length is fine, but with normal Belegarth pants (drawstrings, sweats), you want longer.

Advanced tunic construction tutorials, for your reference:

Good work, though. Seven tunics is nothing to sneeze at.

Nice work. Arrakis is right. Make your next ones longer. Thank you for helping get people dressed.

Thanks for the advice... Makes a lot of sense now that someone said that.
