return edge or not to return edge... that is the question (butt plate)

[Orcrez]

So I've been looking at pictures and pictures of stormtrooper butts and I'm still not sure if I need a return edge on the butt plate down where it touches my legs.  I know I need one on the top to strap it to my kidney plate. But in the pictures I see some with and without a return edge on the area around the legs.

 

So what did you guys do in that area?

minimal return edge on the bottom and sides. Keep a more prominent return edge at the top against the kidney.

I would suggest keep looking at your ref pics and go with that you like the look of. Them trim more off if required for comfort or practicle reasons.
