Where to find non-skimpy female armor?

Hi,
I recently returned to playing Oblivion and wanted to equip my characters with some unique-looking armor. During my "absence", just as expected, many new armor sets were released for Oblivion, both for males and females. Unfortunately most armors, especially female ones are just plain six-shop merchandise or worse :shakehead: . I've looked around, searched the Oblivion nexus and other mod sites, yet I was unable to find much in the way of realistic-looking female armors. Heck, even adequate-looking male armors often have an [censored]-tastic female version. Thus my question where to find female armors to fit those criteria:

- actually covering the body and providing protection like armor should (no chainmail bikinis)
- fitting into the high-fantasy medieval setting of Oblivion (no futuristic or modern armors).
- providing an unique fantasy-style look (no simple re-texes of vanilla armors)

Basically what an "actual" female character, existing within the boundaries of this fantasy world would have custom-made.

So far I've converted the http://oblivion.nexusmods.com/mods/25734 armor to fit my needs by replacing the textures with steel and chainmail and lengthening the "skirt" part. I also managed to create some adequate sets by mixing meshes, often from different mods. However, I'm not an expert modder and I do not have enough experience with meshes to make all that properly :blush2: . Thus the quality is not as good as I'd wish it to be.

P.S.: I'm not prude, but I favor reasonable realism and I don't want to turn my game into porm. There are better sources for that. :whistling:
