This is so good, let me give a Shad- style analysis on this piece.
 
*
*Pros*
*  
>It is stunning as hecc.
 
>Every part of the body (with one exception) is protected.
 
>The waist is made from flexible plates, giving a good degree of flexibility.
 
>The legs (with one potential exception) have a lot of flexibility.
 
>The smooth rounded chestplate will deflect incoming blows very well.
 
>The shoulder guards are extended in a way that they can catch swings to the neck while also appearing to have a good degree of flexibility.
 
>The edge on thw sabaton-boots does have some utility
 
*
*Cons*
*  
>The boots are not as flexible as a proper sabaton also high heels are just no...
>The
greaves look like the might catch on the knee guards which would be a problem.
 
>It does look like the is no gambeson under the mail which makes it vulnerable to poke style attacks on the area between the chest and shoulder plates, the upper back and the crotch, also it leaves the waist vulnerable to mace/hammer blows.
 
>The cuisses/greaves look like they might catch on the knee guards if they shift which would be a problem. However, if the strap is good and they don't shift than its not a problem.  
*
*Notes*
*  
>I wonder what the helmet would look like.
 
That is all I can think of, don't take to cons too seriously as I do think this is a very good balance between looks and practically as far as fantasy armour goes.
No reason given
