Hi,
I just finished my chainmail, but I have two problems. I followed an online tutorial (4in1) that said to measure the chest circumference, add 20 cm, and then divide by 2 to get the width of one torso section. This made my chainmail very tight and incredibly figure-hugging. Of course, the weave adapts to the body shape, but if I, as a woman, want to portray a male figure, that's obviously problematic. Furthermore, my chainmail reaches mid-thigh. The instructions here also suggested simply making two slits on the sides to allow for sufficient movement, but this created a huge "unprotected" area on the side of my thigh.
Does anyone have any tips on how to fix this?
