It's so hard to find functional women's armor.
Regaurdless of whether it's chain-mail, scale-mail, or even leather.
Armor that would cover as much as a man's, and actually hold-up well in combat.

1. cheetos are awesome...
2. i wasn't really fighting it... i just don't like people bashing, and yes armor is armor.
It doesn't matter how hard or what it protects from. My T-shirt could be considered armor, as it Protects me from some harm that could be establish. For instance Weather. Armor is armor simple as that. Yes it is a costume.... wear a little cleavage leather to escape the mundane world, but is it really something to get so upset that they call it armor?

And regarding "It still protects a certain area it was made for, which in fact is armor", the crafter's motivations are laid out at 0:18. It's costuming. If the waistband for the lower portion were broader, it might work as a kidney belt -- but this is not a fighting garment by any stretch of the imagination, and I can't imagine why you're so invested in trying to claim otherwise.

I should leave you to your self-satisfaction and cheetos, but I have a small problem with letting people think they've won an argument just because they got the last word.
Leather armor, including the Roman stuff, was hardened with wax and/or boiling water. This is made of garment-weight leather. How do we know? Because the model/customer/Xena wannabe shows off where the fit was adjusted by pleating a small dart in the leather and riveting it in place. You can't do that to hardened hide.
the point with armor is protection what dos that protect

Armor itself it the later part of the middle ages was not only for protection. As i recall they also wore it as a status of wealth or rank in events, gatherings, and festivities which would also make it a costume as well. Also there weren't to many, if close to at all armor clad women, so if you really wanted to be nit-picky you could say "dress in mens armor, or go back to your dresses." Although renfest wouldn't near as much fun as scantally clad women.Sorry about being an ass on the 1st post
