I’ve made the Tunic and Coif from View C twice. The directions are clear and easy to follow. It makes up as shown. The first time I used this pattern, I made the Tunic out of a metallic fabric and made a second, sleeveless Tunic out of white fabric. The second time I made it all in one piece with metallic sleeves and white fabric body. Both ways worked well. Two kids have play tested the costumes and give them thumbs up. They are comfortable enough to wear to play in. My one suggestion is that if do an elaborate crest as I did on my first Tunic, applique the crest to a separate piece of fabric and tacked it onto the costume. Then, when the child outgrows the costume you can remove the applique and use it again on another costume.
