Sorry to take so long to reply, but posting in case others can benefit. What I found it that the armor fit the torso fine, but the legs, particularly the thighs, needed shortened. I ended up cutting about 1.5 inches off the top of the thighs, and then using a Lineman's pliers I slowly and carefully created a new return edge. I originally was going to use the hot iron method, but in practicing on scraps, I was having trouble being consistent. With the pliers, I was able to ensure a constant line and bend. Trick is to not bend too much in one time and to go slow.
