girl armour
So with some prospective recruits in the works I'm going to start posting resources for making girl type armor in here that I have found usful starting with this
http://swordmaiden.com/wp-content/uploads/cbelt.pdf
To construct a C belt that will comfortably fit a womans hips and evenly distribute the weight of leg armour. I have made myself the pattern but not the actual belt yet.
Another tip, when fitting body armour wear a sports bra like you will when you fight or arch in it or the fit will be a bit off.
As you go through the armour making and fitting process ask any questions you have here and I'll try to help.

Re: girl armour
Good Day, ladies.
I do have loaner armor that you can use until you get your kits togather. Myself being smallish my armor may fit better then some of oh say chris's armor. Just let me know what you need and what events you will be at and we can make plans to get what you need.
Sincerely
Thomas

Re: girl armour
The design was developed from a garter belt actually. I belive the "C" name comes from the shape of the tabs that come down from the belt that the armor gets actually hoked on. I have heard its very comfortable.

Re: girl armour
Thanks racheal, tomas when would be a good time to get together and look at the gear you have so I can get some ideas of what i'm working with? Cause I would loveto just get my mind and body perpared for what it is going to be taking in, and how much my gear is going to weight so if you could let me know what is best for you that would be great.
Thanks Kaela/Kiara

Re: girl armour
Thomas, will you be able to attend one of our wensday practices? maybe even the next one, which is actually two wensdays off. I would also like to learn combat archery to increase my versitility. I also have a fair amount of small loaner gear so I am confidant we can get them sufficiently armored and rolling if we can just all end up at the same place and same time.
