imfemalewarrior:armthearmour:babesinarmor:Jeff Wasson’s self-proclaimed wife in plate armor made from 1050 hardened steel. From the website:Notice that her breastplate covers her ribcage and stops at the narrowest part of her waist. Below that a fauld of hooped lames covers her hips, flexing and allowing her to bend.The breastplate is very rounded and has a crest running down the center. Both of these attributes allow it to deflect blows, and give the wearer plenty of room to breath. The pauldrons overlap the breastplate and have reinforcing plates.What a lovely harness! Very italianate in look, though the exposure of the inner arms makes me want her to have voiders (though I always have been partial to the fully enclosed English style.)I have to admit, I’ve always been a sucker for blued armor too, so I really enjoy this. I get the strong impression that those pauldrons were inspired by the Avant Cuirass.Here is a good example of Women’s armor! It can serve as an art reference. -FemaleWarrior, She/They -- source link
