I found a fake leather dress that would work (I have a matching blouse & skirt I use sometimes also). The wrist & arm pieces are faux leather with the designs painted on, the kneepads are plain black shin guards I found at Pic &Save and painted, the chest-shoulder-back piece I had custom made for me out of soft rubber. I've been thru 3 swords and 5 chakrams, each time getting better."
