Lisa: didn't mean that there isn't great femme armour out there, just that a screen-accurate boba just wouldn't fit the average woman that well. There are some great designs here that suit women and I'll be poaching a lot of your ideas, I'm sure!
There are more than one woman here making regular mandos, the male versions without boobs. And they fit if you make it fit.
Good luck on your femme Fett, I think it looks cool for a femme.

Totally agree. Mirax does Jango and it looks really good! And Soccermom does a mean Boba. I have seen a few girls on here in the past who make better Boba's than the boys!
I think the fem "boob armor" can work, but often times it is done in such grossly ridiculous proportions that it just looks silly... for me this goes all the way back to the fem-stormtrooper. A woman can easily fit into a regular trooper chestplate and still make the costume look feminine without adding ridiculous softballs on the front of the armor. Subtle is always better!
Just don't let someone like Spat find out about this...

Sorry I totally missed this thread. Glad I found it but it seems Art has already been filling in Definitely cracks me up that our boys are so eager to help but I know you guys will have some great ideas. Art had already been working on getting me some "me" sized pouches. The upper body parts are really the most concerning. It's all about trying to make it look right and when you are trying to turn an idealized sculpture of a woman into reality, sometimes it doesn't translate exactly right. The same thing goes for turning a comic character into reality. The proportions are often exaggerated to make things look better- and not just talking chest size being exaggerated. Getting things to sit and move and work right on a living breathing person can definitely be a big challenge. It was one of the difficulties I had in doing my Electra and basing it off Greg Horn's artwork.

It's definitely not going to have anything to do with screen accuracy, but I will take care painting the bucket and doing my best to make it obviously boba-y in general.
Welcome to TDH! Good luck with your boba style femme mando!
I'm helping my wife with her femme mando but our mandos are
for the most part a bunch of bits in boxes and sheet styrene.
80 hour weeks..... GUH?! I have enough trouble finding hobby time
on my heavy weeks (60ish hours). Anyhoo... welcome, and can't
wait to see your progress.
