Dragon Armor Chest + Shoulder Piece

Rich faux leather panels stitched and laced into a full chest piece and shoulder armor — grommets trace clean corset lines, D-rings anchor decorative straps, and tiny dragon emblems perch on each shoulder like sigils earned in battle. Charity Grace walks through her pattern-based approach, building everything on a home sewing machine with straight stitches and a handful of hardware. Beginner-friendly, endlessly customizable, and light enough to move in all day at a con.
