Announcement:
My mod is obsolete now, as there is a better mod for all those that dont like the bad clipping on the CBBE conversion:

http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12482

veekhan mod allows you to keep your main body and use the original armor without any bugs and clipping.

Thank you all and I hope this mod, as rough it was, had been useful for a while for some of you.

Note on nausicaa36 conversion:
After I have uploaded this, I have seen that nausicaa36 have uploaded meantime a total conversion for CBBE (http://skyrim.nexusmods.com/downloads/file.php?id=12181).
My intention was to make this adaptation to be only temporary, until a pro modder will make a serious conversion. So, I have tested it and I have found that, while it is pretty well made, there are some bad issues at the neck and with the shoulderpads.
The neck and the chin is clipping through the straps when the char turn her head and is quite visible to be able to ignore it. The shoulderpads are totally messed up and I wouldnt use it like this. Well, the shouldersless version could awesome, if the neck clipping will ever be fixed, but until then...

-----------------------

Two variants - no weight slider - you must choose one:
- Skinny (Curvy body at min) - UNP body shape, slider at 0, smaller breasts, tight hips, shadows under breasts
- Large (Curvy body at max) - UNP body shape, slider at 100, bigger breasts, larger hips, shadows under breasts

No shoulderpads versions added for each variant!!!

Files provided with each variant:
- cuirass_0.nif and cuirass_1.nif --> Meshes folder
- BikiniBlack.dds and Bikini_n.dds--> Textures folder

Installation:

Why this?...
I wanted this armor badly, but I have re-customized my game so much that it will be a mess if I will drop CBBE body for it. And on top of that, I like CBBE curves better, although I cant say that UNP body isnt nice.
At first, I tried to convert it to the CBBE body, but is not that easy for a starter like me. I think that such conversion will require the split of the armor in 3 pieces, in order to resize it to the different shape of this body: the chest must be moved to the front to cover the bigger breasts, the pants must go to the back to cover the rounder bottom, sleeves must be moved to the X axis also. And I suppose there will be work on the polygons also to make it fit the body shape smoothly. Oh, and there may be another way by replacing the body skin that shows up with CBBE skin, but that is already SF for me. No wonder Hentai didnt wanted to do it, this is like almost making it from scratch and can be solved only by the hands of a skilled modder. Anyone?!
So, the only temporary solution that I was able to come with was to cover the deformed breasts on the UNP version. Sounds easy, but I needed a lot of tries until I figured the best combo. And I couldnt do it at all with the original size provided by Hentai. Luckily, dimon99, the author of the UNP body, has made a sliding version and provided me the permission to use it for you. And even so, only with his largest size of armor I could cover that bra properly.
I tried to make it work with the weight slider, but either I couldnt fit the UNP bra on _1.nif file, either the CBBE bra didnt wanted to get smaller on _0.nif file. In the end I tried to use the armor size from the dimon99`s _1.nif file on both nifs, and it was fine on both 0 and 100 sizes, but it didnt worked at all between them. so, I have decided to drop the sliding and give you the possibility to choose between two body variants: skinny (weight 0) and large (weight 100).
Take note that I have worked entirely in NifSkope. I could take it to 3dsMax and try to make it work, but I am a starter there too and I didnt had the patience to start it over there yet (I struggled with it 2 days).
In conclusion, with this ”adaptation”, your char or follower will still have the UNP body shape and the shadows under the breasts, but you will be able to use this wonderful armor in decent conditions while keeping the CBBE body installed. And lets not forget the sexy bra created by anano...

Enjoy!
