Geshtal wrote:Hi guys ok I've been everywhere on the net looking for Female leather armor for my fiance and im having a hard time finding armor that doesnt "break the bank" for her. She is looking for just torso armor at this time and i was hoping some of you brave guys have tried your hand at making female armor. If you could post some of your work for female torso armor we'd appreciate it. And as a heads up we are looking to spend somewhere between 200-350 dollars for said armor. thanks for any responces and pics would be nice thank you all.

Sarah wrote:Hello, I am Geshtal's fiance, the one looking to get some female armor lol. Well, we've looked at a bunch of different websites, like he said, and none have exactly what we're looking for. Most armor we come across is just made to look sexy and I'm not looking for something that shows my stomach off to everyone lol, that's a straight kill right there. I do want something that looks good. I'm ok with a bit of my chest showing. The corset idea sounded good, I'm not so hot about chain mail though. I will admit I have bigger breasts than most tiny petite girls and that's one of our problems.

This is not a reflection on you, but on ninja brig. I have nothing against people who use it...but its definitely not a well respected armor imo.
The only times when Ninja Brig should be used is...
- You have almost no money.
- You have almost no time to make real armor.
- You need it done quickly, I.E. within a day or two.
- You are minmaxing for weight.
- You don't care about looking professional
- You don't care about looking historical.
- You want to look vaguely Asian without putting too much effort into it.
- You want to look like an anime character.

As far as padding, you're right. Mine stings like bare chainmail.
Demox wrote:Had ninja brig torso, converted it to hip armor before fest. I absolutely love it. As for the arguments against it, Sir Peregrine had a great idea on how to make it look more historical. Start putting nickel plated rivets through the center of every square. I thought this was a great idea and would look fantastic. Haven't gotten around to doing it yet

Rocca has a pretty good chick armor design and we're working on a floated articulation waist cincher type thing (real specific i know. lol) to see if we can't work out something that is attractive AND mobile. we'll keep you posted. Your may want to take a look at Rocca's design.. I think its somewhere in this thread. or pm her.
good luck!

I made them myself, Soaked the leather and shaped it to me personally, Rumbeard loved that part. :devil: Depending on how I'm feeling they can either be loose or tight on me and either way they fit just fine and still hold the babies in place. I too am big breasted, so forming leather to the boobies isn't impossible.
