It's actually a half circle. The front is flat.

I'm going to ask this question here too, b/c it's probably relevant to both men's and women's tunics with the exception of the part about the darts (original in "Shoulder Pleat at Waistline" thread): Update: I pulled out my tunic pattern pieces last night and started working with them again. And now that I've been pinning and measuring, of course I have a new question for the expert seamstresses. How much "ease" do you recommend between my waist measurement and the waist measurement (seam) of the tunic? 2 inches or more or less?
I thought my "January" waist measurement would be good for finalizing the pattern b/c hopefully it will be a bit smaller the rest of the year, as it usually the case. But I don't want to make the darts or waist too tight on it now for movement with the saber. So I'd like to solicit your advice on how much "ease" to use! Thanks so much for the help. :-) Bottom line, for those of us making our own patterns, how much "ease" to allow for the waist -- difference between body's waist measurement and the waist on the garment?

I don't think I'll use a waist seam, I'll make the back alot like Ledas as the waist seem is just one more thing I have to make sure my tababrds and sash cover.

Actually, it was Leda who I first saw do a pattern with a waist seam. That's how she gets the flair at the back.
