About this mod
I found that the "Double_Sided" flag caused the feathers on female forsworn armor to be darker than intended and lit from the wrong direction. (If you're using any modded meshes, this is likely already fixed.)

- This is for the vanilla body,
if anyone hasn't fixed this yetthis is a modders resource. For learning or conversion. - Skyrim has a way to simulate back lighting, but this isn't. It was just a bug, and with the mod it finally looks right.
- What I did was separate the feathers from the _0 and _1 armor and removed Double_Sided flag from the feathers.
I don't use unofficial patch, but I did check the Unofficial Skyrim Special Edition Patch: Version History just to be sure before releasing this.
Mesh and Texture Fixes
Female Forsworn armor had darkened feathers due to an erroneously set double-sided shader flag. (meshes\clothes\forswornarmor\forswornarmorf_1.nif, meshes\clothes\forswornarmor\forswornarmorf_0.nif) (Bug #12872)
To quote xavbio, author of Forsworn Armors and Weapons Retexture SE:
This happens because the mesh was modeled so it would not need to be double-sided, but still uses the double-sided flag in nifskope. Meaning the feathers facing inwards cast shadows on the feathers pointing outwards. My fix simply turns off the double-sided flag. Pretty much every mesh replacer or bodyslide conversion also fixes this issue, so this is only necessary if you are using the vanilla meshes.
