i've always loved the femiscyran mail design even if it's like. yknow. impractical woman armour [it's cool...i thought it was cool................i still think it's cool...........] but i've always been somewhat confused by how it's actually affixed to anything. this has only become more troubling to me now that i can actually make chainmail.
like, with the way its been draped implied that it's not a Sheet of chainmail which has been affixed to rings, but rather something akin to a Sack or folded sheet that's held in place by rings. you'd be better off knitting in a chainmail esque manner to recreate this because making this with actual rings would be infuriating. not because it's undoable is just unnecessarily difficult extra work. i suppose at least for the "skirt" part it being a sack of sorts means it Could in theory serve as a bag or large pocket. but the idea of throwing my items into a metal sack sounds awful so i hate that. anyway once i get top surgery i'll be making this for myself albeit with like. a skirt of sorts. i have my limits.
