Armour: heavy

Breast Pleate- Female Heavy

Here's a design that's working for Wrenn right now- Works well for larger cup sizes.
 
The breast plate was developed after I'd been fighting for a few years in "tombstone" armour- which worked well for me fighting heater and at that skill level.
I've made this breast plate out of a UV stable garbage can, so lighter and with more flex than pickle barrel, but will keep its shape and not get soft in the heat like some leather. It's cut out with a jig saw and laced together with shoe laces- so repairs are easy.
I fight with scuba foam in it and a tunic over it; I want to be able to hide my sca sport armour under the proper looking clothing.

Here's a design that worked well for smaller breasted women. Please drop Wrenn a line if you'd like more information about either design.
