[Loch-Ruadh] armor for a girl

I have a friend in Phoenix who makes armor for movies
and SCA as a profession. I really want to make
form-fitted armor for myself... so I asked for some
pics and pointers. Here's what he sent.
"These pics are examples of formed fitted leather
armor to women.  Due 
to 
combat archery which in this kingdome forbids direct
contact to 
archers.  No 
saddle skirting would give you enough thickness to
withstand a shot.  
For 
you I would suggest 8 to 10 ounce leather.  You must
find a mold or 
make a 
mold.  Then lay the piece down "highly wet"  Then
weight it down with 
bags 
of buck shot or something like that.  It would
generate a very sexy 
armor 
piece but be very difficult to make."

I haven't made any armor before... SO, I may need
help.

Don't say you don't have enough time. You have exactly the same number of hours per day that were given to Helen Keller, Pasteur, Michaelangelo, Mother Teresa, Leonardo da Vinci, Thomas Jefferson, and Albert Einstein.
