Dark Brotherhood Armor Mod
I've been using Better Shrouded Armor for males, A Perfect Assassin for females and The Dark Brotherhood Armor TS Edition For robes. Had to do a little manual editing to remove the female meshes from Better shrouded and the male meshes from A Perfect Assassin. I'm actually quite pleased how it turned out.
First of all, I'm sure others have already requested this before but I was surprised by the fact that I was unable to find any mods that actually hit this request on the head so to speak.The mod I am requesting is a modification to the default vanilla Shrouded Armor acquired via the Dark Brotherhood quest line in the Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim. The modification entails tailoring the armor to fit the CBBE (Calientes Female Body Mod Big Bottom Edition) body tightly yet at a minimum, retain the default textures of the armor (or High Res them, your choice).The fact of the matter is, the armor is aesthetically decent (debatable) but unfortunately, instead of looking like a slender assassin, you look like you have the physical girth of a lumberjack.Some details regarding what to trim might be allowing CBBE weight sliders have an affect on the armor's appearance.
Also, trimming down abdominal area and thighs as well.A great model and example would be Scarlett Johansson's character in the Avengers. Killer Kreos skimpy armor set actually includes a non-skimpy conversion of the DB armor for CBBE (i think its for v2 though).

I made a conversion myself before realizing there was a cbbe version already. I never released the basic DB armor, but used it as a base for another custom armor set.Here'sAn image of my unreleased versionI think there is a version of Killer Kreos that is bodyslide enabled (i haven't looked into this personally, so I may very well be wrong). Otherwise you'll have to wait for Caliente to release her official CBBE conversion.
Looking at the images, I'm going to vouch for Deadly Serious. On careful examination, Proper (Red) looks like the vanilla textures with a filter applied on (which is something that I really don't like for retextured anything), and Proper (Black), like as Techangel said, looks too similar to the Nightingale armor.Even through it is quite a style change from vanilla, Deadly Serious wins out in my book as the best looking of the Shrouded Armor retextures.
And it would probably be my choice for a while, at least until CaBaL covers the armor.However, if you think Deadly Serious deviates from the vanilla style too much to be included in STEP, then you can just go with the vanilla+HD textures until CaBaL gets to retexturing the armor (which might take a while).
