[QUOTE="yoippari, post: 1797288, member: 24371"] Actually depending on how its woven (using triangles) maille actually can draw up and support breasts. In some cases people can actually make sculpture out of maille. [url]http://www.geocities.com/chainmailbasket/[/url] There are many more weaves than euro 4-1 and 6-1. Historically however there were very few that were ever used (due to practicallity). I myself am making a hackey sack out of euro 5-1. My friend has a bracelet made of three rows of byzantine. I have made an anklet out of inverted captive round. There are a lot of weaves out there, some are actually usefull as armor, most aren't. The way 4-1 falls is normally form fitting. However it does need to be loose, when you lean over your chest should have an extra 5 inches or more of space if you intend to ever get out with out the help of stray family members and the family pony. As for getting out of this "elven chainmail". Buckles werent used historically because it opens a gap where there is no armor. I know it is fantasy but that is no excuse for bad design. And dont even get me started on blunt force padding. As I said befor, I like the design from an artistic point of view, but its not practical. [/QUOTE]
