Thank you! I designed the pattern myself based on some guesswork and existing patterns from Medieval Tailor's Assistant. The body part simply consists of four panels, which fit the chest circumference at the armholes but immediately start widening to make them comfortable to fence in at mid-thigh level even when fully buttoned up. The sleeves consist of two pieces each, sewn underarm and connected at mid-upper arm. The top part's upper edge connecting to the body panels' armholes are about 2.5x as long as the circumference of the armhole, folding the fabric in as you sew them together. The bottom part opens to a very wide bell, reaching down to about mid-lower arm, its width giving the illusion that it is way longer than that. The darted parts are folded back and stitched to the inner elbow with a few simple stitches to avoid it dropping down.

That's about it, the only thing I regret about that kit is that I patterned it when I was in the middle of some serious getting-into-shape: after losing about 10-15cm of waist circumference I designed the pattern to fit me because my old costumes became far too big, then went on to lose another 10cm.
