Tribal Armor needed for A4: What to use?

Background: Since I use Daz to portray RP characters, I need to find armor suitable for my wild child wolf-gal returning to her tribal homeland, and becoming an Alpha there.
Aim: Ideally, I would -love- to recreate something like the following. http://fast1.onesite.com/capcom-unity.com/user/yuffie67/07f4647d92e6b8dd6afab921a93e17a5.jpg?v=189927 ~ or something in that general style, at least. And yet, I just can't think of what to use to recreate something like that. I'd also love a mask suitable for A4, with that mane effect. I could possibly get that since I have the Look At My Hair plugin, but not much practise with it.
Ideally, I want the armor to look quite tribal, but within that style; not an armor-kini, but something still somewhat feminine, so thighs/cleavage/stomach is acceptable.
If anyone has any ideas of how to combine different pieces to get the look I want, please feel free to post your ideas here!

It might be possible (even advisable) to go with a more "Plain" armor and add things like the spikes. Something like Angeluz for V4 would get you a lot of the way there... Drop the shoulders all together, kitbash a loin cloth in over the panties... use primitive cones to make the spikes. Very doable.
Hmm...I can definitely see it working with the shirt. Just some retexturing, and adding an transparency map over the stomach? Mind you, that's very adventurous for someone who's never made textures, but that's how you learn, right? If I went with that route, I think I'd get a loin from somewhere else, texture it white, then fur over it using the LAMH!
Yup yup. Sounds about right. :) You could also just use some type of shader on the armor instead of retexturing... Any of a dozen leather shaders might get you close.
