sizing the T-tunic?

[ursula]

I'm contemplating making myself a nice early-period (fifth- or sixth-century) overtunic. As far as I can tell, this should be cut like a genuine T (or woven in one piece, but I lack that technology), with sleeves reaching just past my elbows or so. Does anyone have any advice on figuring out the dimensions?

.....Oh dear, that sounds so familiar. I'm probably already set up mentally to do heraldry (and physically capable of doing vox heraldry)!
