I've got to say, I love the neckline and may burgle it once you release this one. (I have underwear on my to-do list.) I do like the sleeves, but I'd like to suggest a tapered sleeve shape-- roomy but not bloused from shoulder to elbow, then snug down to the wrist. Good freedom of movement for swordplay without getting your cuffs caught in your scabbard. (Or dipping them in your dinner. That's a womanly concern.) Are you thinking (and I realize I am inviting a groan) of doing any hemline variations? I want to make some cotehardies, and as you can see, men's hemlines in the 14th century got more variation than women's hemlines from the fifth century to the eighteenth century. (Although with a pair of shoes on there, like FR's poulaines or some non-viney plantsim poulaines, I would totally put some peasanty recolors on this tunic as-is. I have, like, a dozen things specifically for male peasants, and they're all by Iamliz13.)
