Does anyone know where I can get some female armor? At least something that can be somewhat accamodating for the bust area of the female form.

There arn't any vendors that do female armor to my knowledge. However, it is not that hard to make your own out of sintra. Its a fairly strong plastic that you can heat up with boiling water then mold it anyway you want.
If you hop over to the Links board on the MERCS forum:
There are some downloadable patterns for Jango Fett's armor in 4 different sizes. I'd say pick the best size that accommodates your figure (you'll want a bigger size then a man would pick out to accommodate bust cups you'll need to mold into it.), cut out the sintra armor pieces, then heat and mold as needed.
Sintra can be bought on the internet for fairly reasonable prices.
Give Ritchie an email. He has done female Stormtrooper armor, and I'm sure he can do female mando. His stuff is also not that expensive either. _________________
This is something I have been working on for one of my clan. This hopefully will be Sheydra Falcos armour.

Being a martial arts instructor, I have the ability to order gear set for sparring. One piece that I can note is a molded female chest protecter that is worn under the uniform for sparring. I have also seen this safety gear used for SCA fighting in both armored and rapier combat. It is my belief that this protective gear can be modified for the use of female mandalorian armor.
