For this to work, they have to be if not realistic, at least believable.
When my wife (a long-time Gloranthan gamer) saw the picture of Kallyr Starbrow, TR page 92, her comment was that no-one could walk in tight scale-mail leggings like that.
As for mail bikinis, her usual immediate reaction is: 'ouch!'. They would be atrociously uncomfortable to wear, even with decent linings. I heard the same from women who wore samples of chain bikinis from a dealer at Gencon.
For similar reasons, her centaur characters always wear bras. Can you imagine how much your boobs would bounce around at a gallop?
