Everyone needs body armor, right?

My shirt is getting closer to being done. The next step is to fill in the neck hole some and then work on sleeves. I think I may slit the bottom foot or so to make climbing stairs easier (I can do it, but it's a little tight). I also need to clean up the bottom edge so that it's even. I had it even, and the op was even, but the armpits didn't line up, so I spent a weekend slicing it open and fixing all the dropped stitches.

Next, I need to figure out what to do for trim. If I feel ambitious, I may set up the anodizer at work and make gold rings, or I may just use copper instead. Anodized aluminum would be better in the long run, since then everything will be the same material. I should look and see if I can find all the stuff for green and black rings too (we haven't done them yet because they're more complicated - they require a two stage dying process).
Here's what it looks like so far:

Yeah, but the skirt goes to my knees

Cheater. That's supposed to be individually rivetted iron ringlets. ;)
