Armor Stretching Instead of Moving. Help?

Hello all. I am fairly new to DazStudio and am learning to do quite a bit with it. Currently I am working with creating a set of Greek/Persian armor and weapons for Michael and have had good success with getting things like helmets, breastplates, swords, and spears to pose with the character. However, one piece of armor has me stumped: the Linothorax.

The leather strips that hang down to the middle of his thigh stretch when posing the character as if he is wearing some sort of latex skirt! How would I fix this? Any help would be appreciated.

Here's an image of the armor I am talking about:

the straps you need to create bones for. There's no other way. Probably two for each one.
