Nicole Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Hey guys! I was wondering if one of you fellow female biker scouts could throw me a PM, because I have several questions about how the cumerbund should fit on me. I'm having LadySewForUs make me one, and while she gave great directions on how/where to measure myself, I need some more help from someone with experience. Thanks!

4505Marcel Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Having made several for lady scouts, theres really no difference in the construction. What I do find if the lady scout has a larger bust then its best to have the bund sit a little lower than usuall and stop just under the bust. If not then its just the same as a mans bund finish around nipple height, down to waist height. Your best to have these made to the right length at the chest and around the waist rather than a rough size around the middle so its the same top and bottom or it just ends up being baggy where you dont want it to be. Its impossible to make them 100% fitted when you cant pin them onto the scout, but I havent had a problem so far with the way I make them.

Nicole Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 So it really needs to go up pretty high, and over your bust? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
8224 Posted August 2, 2011 Share Posted August 2, 2011 Mine goes to my nipples. If it's too low your vest will show if you raise your arms. If you have your armour belt, you can measure from your belt to your nipples. The belt should cover the lower edge of the cummerbund.

Nicole Posted August 2, 2011 Author Share Posted August 2, 2011 Thanks you two, you answered my question. I wasn't sure how far up it had to go! =] Now I can get it ordered with the correct measurements. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4505Marcel Posted August 4, 2011 Share Posted August 4, 2011 Thats the trouble with having lady bits, sometimes the bund does have to be lower so not to squash things If you do have to have a shorter bund, have it velcro'd to your chest armour, so when you do lift ya arms up the flight suit wont show through Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Witness Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 I tacked my vest to my cummerbund, the use a velcro on my cummerbund to my chestplate, so my cummerbund doesn't drop and show my man bits... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 Hahaha Witness you're too funny =P And I decided to have it go up higher than lower just in case, and do the whole Velcro thing. Can you guys answer a velcro question? When I start to use Velcro to attach the armor to the flight suit, do I use sticky back/glue-on Velcro on the armor, and sew the Velcro to the fabric?

4505Marcel Posted August 5, 2011 Share Posted August 5, 2011 Yep thats what I did I do how ever find a plain velcro stuck on with E6000 holds for longer than sticky velcro, but the sticky stuff will certainly do. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nicole Posted August 5, 2011 Author Share Posted August 5, 2011 I'd rather E600 it actually, thanks for that awesome tid bit! I can sew enough to sew the Velcro to the flightsuit, so I'm not worried about that. I'm worried about putting the actual armor itself together lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
