Full armor

I've not used this pattern but maybe it's similar to what you're looking for Pattern doll clothes, Protection shoulders, bracers, mask, bag / back protector+ corset for SG armor leather.

You might have an easier time buying a human pattern of what you want and creating your own pattern based on the instructions. Dolls are all different sizes so unless you're making the clothes for one of the very popular dolls you may have a hard time finding doll patterns that fit anyway.


Good luck !

 

I couldn't find any patterns and I know this isn't exactly what you're looking for but a faceup artist I strongly admire (she works with off topic dolls) made a video about doll armor. It's mostly about the armor plating and less about the leathers. She has another video about making doll patterns through taking things apart and she then talks about how to make up patterns, I'm not sure it'll help but that one's here.
I haven't checked her but I bet there's something similar to what you're looking for in the sewing and project threads, if I see anything I'll link it.
Sorry I couldn't be more help, I really hope you find what you're looking for. Good luck!

 

@MamaQuak The late Valkyrie made a set of leather armor for a Dollzone MSD for a contest for me. I have copied and shared the pattern in my Google Drive since the dolls-n-daggers page is gone and no one else seems to have made their copies public.

It looks like this:

 

Awesome Armor!

 

With armor there's about a thousand styles available so a lot depends on how you want it to be: lots of metal, mail, very little metal, lots of leather, full body head to toe coverage or light armor coverage, and so on.
Here's two examples:
Very light armor. Just a studded leather vest called a brigandine, and some heavy weight trousers.

Cont. next post.

 

Or, a much more complete set of a chain/mail shirt with a coat of plates over it, a kidney belt (waist protector) over That, and bracers (arm guards). She is much more protected and covered.


It can help if you have a favorite historical culture and time period with armor you like the look of.
You mentioned Vikings but they wore a chain/mail shirt over a padded jacket and a simple helmet- very little other armor is documented for Vikings, AFAIK. That armor, therefore, might be very easy to make depending on how exact you want to be at making a chain shirt. The one I've made in that picture is just a fabric with the right look and a metallic finish to it.

 

if you want chain mail, you could probaby find tiny jump rings at Michaels or the other place and (painstakingly) link them together. the link patterns are specific to various places and times, but here are samples....
